๐ŸŒ€ Why This Ghost Matters for Gameplay

Each ghost type in Ecto Corporations is designed to push the player to use different tactics and tools.

  • โ€œThe Hangedโ€ is aggressive and excels at area control โ€” its spinning attack makes it dangerous to approach carelessly.

  • This will encourage players to use courage management, team strategies, or long-range weapons when facing it.

  • It also adds more variety to encounters, making the world feel more alive (and haunted ๐Ÿ‘€).

๐Ÿ”ง Development Notes

  • ๐Ÿ”„ Attack effects and sound design still in progress

  • ๐Ÿง  AI behavior tuning planned for next updates
