Game Overview

Spiritus Vindicta is a 2D single-player ghost-hunting game developed by Dave Schab Games, released on March 6, 2026, with an early access period starting October 18, 2024. The game offers a fresh perspective on the ghost-hunting genre, providing a less realistic and slightly faster-paced experience while still delivering scares. Players embark on a journey to investigate and exorcise ghosts that have altered everything in the game's narrative.

It is important to note that Spiritus Vindicta is not a game with a roster of distinct playable characters or a 'best characters' meta, as might be found in multiplayer or hero-based games. Instead, the game focuses on the player's singular role in a ghost-hunting endeavor. Information found online regarding 'Vindicta' characters, builds, or tier lists predominantly refers to a character named Vindicta from a different game, 'Deadlock', and is not applicable to Spiritus Vindicta.

Gameplay Mechanics: Ghost Hunting and Evidence

The core gameplay loop of Spiritus Vindicta involves heading out on numerous missions to haunted locations. The primary objective is to investigate the lurking ghosts by finding and logging evidence. This evidence is crucial for learning about the specific ghosts encountered and understanding the necessary steps to exorcise them. Players must navigate these spooky environments, striving to maintain composure and, most importantly, survive the encounters. The game features numerous supernatural events that players will experience as they try to stay alive.

Ghost Types and Exorcism

Spiritus Vindicta includes 10 distinct types of ghosts for players to investigate and ultimately exorcise. As the story progresses, players will experience different ghost attacks, which become increasingly dangerous. To successfully exorcise these entities, players must gather information about 10 different categories of evidence. This evidence directly informs the rituals that need to be performed to banish the ghosts.

Locations and Environment

The game offers a variety of settings for ghost hunts, with over 20 haunted locations featuring more than 15 different types of environments. These locations can also present varying weather conditions, adding another layer to the investigative experience. Players should be prepared to hide from ghosts during hunts to ensure their survival.
