Fight spirits to survive in a haunted house! ... Or don't. · By
To feed the ghosts, you need the endosomatic heart (because letting yourself be digested to death when you're looking for someone is stupid).
It's the red melting heart you might find in stores at the beginning of each floor. (you can try reloading to get the item you want)
Once you do, you can allow yourself to be digested by most spirits until the struggle gauge turns into a pink melting heart.
The ghost will allow you to struggle free and drop items, along with some dialogue and a ghotiary entry. Kamnspi might befriend you without the heart, I'm not sure.
There are some exceptions to the rule;
Nahara and possibly Boobloomi (because of a glitch to where befriending her will get you an instant game over)
Mitsuro and Honeyghast (because they are bosses, and they can't even be eaten)
Jellotin (I mean, it works, but the ghostiary implies that Jellotin will transport you somewhere else in the future.)

....something. (because it's possibly the main antagonist and is pure evil. Japes hates it and wants to kill it.)
Aaand there's a credit card explaining everything, including the point of healing them, since holding both buttons at the same time would be uncomfortable, (which is absolutely on purpose) ^.^ Thx. I think your health plays a role, though. Also, how do I feed the ghosts? Is there a hint for that too?
Honestly, for a "pathetic" protagonist, you did a good job making him competent. What's pathetic is how a fetish game has deeper mechanics than slop like Stellar Blade. And now that players are less rewarded for failing and more rewarded for being competent (including only letting Japes get eaten when he has a in universe safety net for it), you have successfully pulled the other 50% of the game out of being a glorified gallery. I wouldn't be surprised if someone on the team 1cc'd an arcade game at this point. Even so, may I suggest a meter for the ghosts? Not that it matters, but it would be nice to know exactly how much health I can eat a ghost with.
Oh, and by the way, stay away from Zahara, she will instantly game over you if you get endosomatic with her. Not even sure how her friendship is supposed to go since you need double pink hearts and from what I've seen, they are to leave you alone, but I do know that japes agrees to stay in her treasury.
