Unlike many games in the genre that end once the ghost is identified, Obsideo requires players to perform an exorcism ritual. This typically involves bringing specific items to the ghost's "cold spot" and using a Bible to banish it.
In Obsideo , players take on the role of priests investigating paranormal events to identify and ultimately banish a malevolent entity from a property.

Players use various tools to gather clues and identify the ghost type based on over 50 unique interactions, such as moving objects, smashing plates, or leaving bloody footprints.
In a move unique to the ghost-hunting genre, the developer has opened the game up for community modding .
The entire game was ported from Unity to Unreal Engine 5 , significantly improving graphics and performance.
While ghosts can currently be identified visually during attacks, the primary gameplay focuses on observing behaviors—like a Demon placing crucifixes on walls or the Effigy ghost making unique noises.
