It supports solo play or up to 8 players across two roles: the Exorcist, who fires a salt shotgun but cannot see evil spirits, and the Back Spirit, who sees them but cannot exorcise them. No release date is set; development targets PC by Halloween 2026.","whyItMatters":"Omodo is pairing a co-op gimmick that deliberately makes one player blind and one player unarmed with proximity voice chat, so the game's tension comes from imperfect communication rather than the shotgun itself.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Exorcist carries a Purification Shotgun that fires salt and cannot see evil spirits. The Back Spirit sees them but cannot exorcise them. The Back Spirit can move through the air and pass through walls, but drift too far from the Exorcist and giving directions gets harder.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriendly fire is on. The shotgun hits the Back Spirit too, so blind spraying does not work. Proximity voice chat drops in volume with distance and muffles through walls. At the Night Exorcism Office, players arrange weapons and discuss roles, and in-game money buys weapons and ghost costumes. Online rooms take 2 to 8 players via room codes. Solo play swaps between the two roles.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"ByeByeObake splits roles so the Exorcist fires blind and the Back Spirit sees without firing, which means the co-op only works if players talk more than they shoot.","twitterPost":"ByeByeObake's Exorcist fires blind while the Back Spirit sees but cannot fire. Communication is the only win condition.","threadsPost":"ByeByeObake gives one player sight and the other a salt shotgun, so neither role can win alone. In an 8-player lobby that becomes a relay of instructions, and the design bets that talking is harder than aiming.","newsletterBlurb":"Omodo opened the Steam store page for ByeByeObake! on October 9. It is a first-person asymmetric co-op game for up to 8 players, splitting the group into a blind Exorcist with a salt shotgun and a Back Spirit who spots but cannot shoot.
