About Ecto Corporations
You’ve inherited a bankrupt company and a cursed book. Now, you're the only one who can face the ghosts haunting the city.
In Ecto Corporations, you play as an unlikely ghost hunter who turns a crumbling building into the country’s greatest supernatural empire.
Start alone, armed with nothing but a metal rod, and build your reputation — for better or worse. Win over fans, challenge cultists, and recruit a team of paranormal experts. Manage resources, upgrade your base, explore a living city, and choose whether to become a hero… or the right hand of a dark organization.
⚙️ GAME STYLE
🧠 Simulation + Action + Narrative with Choices
- A mix of paranormal business simulation, third-person exploration, light combat, and meaningful decisions.
- Set in a dynamic open city with unique NPC routines, locations, and supernatural events.
🎮 GAMEPLAY FEATURES
🔧 Build Your Team
Hire paranormal specialists, train them, manage salaries, and keep them from panicking when facing the unknown.
🏚️ Upgrade Your Base
Turn a decaying building into a true ghost-hunting HQ, complete with labs, vehicles, and spiritual containment gear.
💀 Face Ghosts & Cultists
Use enchanted weapons, rituals, runes, and raw instinct to capture or destroy entities. But beware: some ghosts can possess NPCs, objects, or even vehicles.
🌇 Explore a Living City
Roam through haunted cemeteries, shady alleys, and mysterious shops. Interact with civilians — save them… or scare them.
📈 Build (or Break) Your Reputation
Your actions shape how the world reacts. Become a public hero with media support, or ally yourself with the shadows and cults that rule the beyond.
🧠 Manage Courage and Sanity
Your character isn’t immune to fear. Terrifying environments and spiritual attacks reduce your courage. If it hits zero, expect panic, fainting — or a hospital visit…
🚗 Use Urban Transport (or Steal a Car)
Buses, subways, NPC vehicles — use whatever you can. Or run for your life if a possessed car is chasing you.
