Soul Watcher#3480

This is not like a medium or role where you can speak to ghost.

Soul Watcher is a role where you can see ghost but cannot see ghost talking in bubble chat. Just watch what ghost doing.

I don’t know what kind of role should this be. But, I think it similar to survivor role but have ability to view ghost. Maybe good role.

Like, imagine any ghost player stand floating on live player to show that Ghost is on something. But, cannot see the text in what they got to said. Like watcher have no ability to know if this person is evil, good, or neutral? or it could be ghost fooling around?

And, if this role included, I think it would help ghost do something to show if Soul Watcher survive longer.

Soul Watcher (Neutral?)

I try to be thoughtful about this. What if Soul Watcher is a part of Neutral Team.

I think this would help lower stress of questioning and share with others to figure out. Maybe this helps bring more chance of surviving longer if they share their role early.

I imagine being Soul Watcher and be like “hey, guys why there many ghost on this person?,” to give a clue to both good and evil without knowing if person is evil or good. Soul watcher can be useful, tricked, or lied.

I think it would be unfair for having Soul Watcher got voted out early if they not part of Neutral. Like, soul watcher being in good team never get more chance of seeing the ghost to survive longer.

Maybe Soul Watcher paired with Clown. Sometime, soul watcher is there. Sometime, clown is there.

Maybe it fair to have Soul Watcher being part of neutral, while both good and evil have many useful role. I think there many way to make happening on soul watcher being in neutral team while it easy to remove for being good or evil.

If it were to be neutral it needs to have a win condiction other than “just survive”

I’m going to pause thinking on the idea of Soul Watcher for now. Maybe, until I understand Flicker’s idea win condition in my other suggestion #3502. or something new happens.

Now reading your suggestion fully we already have a way to communicate to ghosts via black creek. Not sure if making this an any map thing is a good idea.

True, we already have Ghost communication only in Black House Creek. Which is door opening and closing by Ghost as Ghost Door. But I think, Soul Watcher is similar to the moment of having Ghost Door.

Like Soul watcher cannot see ghost having bubble chat above their head. Same thing with door, Door don’t speak. Unless there is a wizard create magic on door to speak a clear clue. But that’s cheating magic and That’s not part of Flicker for solving the mystery murder.

But, I think having soul watcher is about having visual awareness on ghost body language that may give a clue but challenge to know which kind of the clue itself. Soul Watcher have ability to see Silence Ghost body language like only see Ghost movement but no bubble chat on Ghost.

Body language like jumping, standing, running around the player. It nothing more distraction to visually. Which, I think that a thing for game to play since silence challenge make a game itself. Maybe it’s interesting to have visual skill to improve when the game playing.

And, I think it doesn’t have to be like silence ghost observation only happen in Black House Creek. Maybe, Soul Watcher can carry similar vibe of how ghost communication works in Black House Creek into every maps.

And, BirthdayMabel, since you said you unsure if making Soul Watcher in any map is a Good Idea. What’s on your thought about that?

I mean 90% of the time in black creek people don’t utilize it. So I am not sure if it would be an op thing but there’s always evil ghosts being able to lie so I think it most likely wouldn’t change gameplay that much.
