Ghost Hunting Journal, a narrative-driven supernatural adventure with a hand-drawn anime aesthetic, is gaining rapid traction online while still offering a playable demo on PC via Steam.

Developed by Spicy Games and published by Okasan’s Recipe, the title has recently surged in popularity across social media platforms, drawing attention to its distinctive visual style and blend of humor, horror, and emotional storytelling. The growing buzz reflects strong interest in its approach to ghost-hunting gameplay, which combines investigative mechanics with character-driven narratives.
Set in the modern city of Riverrun, the story follows Spirit Agents tasked with resolving disturbances caused by “Soul Squatters”—lingering spirits trapped between life and the afterlife. Players navigate the city using local transport systems to investigate urban legends, utilizing a dual-protagonist system to switch between two characters with complementary abilities. This mechanic drives the gameplay, requiring strategic thinking and crafted tools to overcome supernatural entities and stabilize the thinning boundary between worlds.
With its demo available since September 19, 2025, the game offers an early look at its investigative flow, stylized presentation, and narrative tone, giving a clearer sense of how its mix of suspense and lighthearted moments comes together.
