Nice eerie atmosphere! I felt like I was playing Pokemon snap back in the zone of STALKER :D
Was constantly waiting to get jumped by something around the corner.
In all the empty houses, I felt like I had to check every room with and without the camera lense to see if there were ghosts lurking around. I don't know if you added something like that, but could have been cool. Only found the deers, pigs and dogs so maybe the other creature you hinted about was something like that.
Cool and pretty unique idea for a game!

"The ghosts only visible through camera" is just such a long running trope that I couldn't not think about it. With the eeriness and the silent-hill-esque use of thick fog. One possibility would be to somehow embrace the trope while also averting from it? :thinking:
Like... hmm.. one good example comes to mind:
In Outer Wilds you can only see this "ghost matter" while looking through a camera. It's a kind of radiation that kills you if you walk into it.
