FAQ

Q. Where does my ghost appear?

A. From your own corpse.

Q. What are Ghost Signals?

A. Ghost Signals are markers that only ghosts can place. Living players can also see them, allowing ghosts to communicate with the living.

Q. Does my corpse remain after I become a ghost?

A. Yes. After a certain amount of time, it becomes a silhouette corpse.

Q. What's the difference between a normal corpse and a silhouette corpse?

A. Once a corpse becomes a silhouette, some information is no longer available.

Q. Can living players see ghosts?

A. Normally, no. However, when a ghost performs certain actions, such as breaking a window or opening a door, it becomes visible to living players.

Q. Can I check how many respawns I have left?

A. Yes. Your remaining respawns are displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Q. Can I see how many respawns other players have left?

A. No. Other players' remaining respawns are hidden.

Q. When do the wolf and lamb player counts at the top of the screen change?

A. They do not change after a player's first death. The counts update only after that player dies a second time and is permanently eliminated.

Q. Can I be spawn-killed after respawning?

A. No, you are temporarily invulnerable after respawning.

Q. What happens if I'm a ghost and can't reach the Harbor because the bridge is no longer passable?

A. You won't be able to cross the bridge, but you also won't be removed from the match. When it's time to respawn, you'll do so in the Harbor.
