''Spirit Hunter'' is a series of HorrorVisualNovels and {{Adventure Game}}s of the PointAndClickGame variety developed by Experience Inc. It takes place in a Japan that is haunted by Spirits, {{vengeful ghost}}s who have suffered some tragedy in life and died horribly, becoming warped into terrifying beings that hunt the living. These spirits can also inflict curses upon people, leaving them to die if nothing is done. Connecting these beings is the Hyakki Yagyo, a mythical demon parade that is used to describe the emergence of these spirits. Each game focuses on a specific protagonist who finds themselves dragged into the world of the occult, and must team up with others to combat and repel these beings, thus becoming the titular Spirit Hunters.
The gameplay alternates between the usual visual novel fare and exploration segments where you must navigate a haunted area in a manner akin to first-person dungeon crawlers, clicking on points of interest and collecting items that will help you against the current spirit. You will also have companions to take with you in the investigations, but [[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit you can choose only one at a time]]- and sometimes you will need a specific partner to get past one obstacle, so choose wisely.

You will also have companions to take with you in the investigations, but you can choose only one at a time- and sometimes you will need a specific partner to get past one obstacle, so choose wisely.
At times, you will find yourself faced with danger and must pick the correct decision from three choices to survive before time runs out. The games are split up into Chapters, with each chapter focusing on a specific spirit and concluding with a boss fight against the spirit where you must choose, from the items you have, the correct ones to defend yourself and beat the spirit. But beware, for there are two ways to defeat a spirit- you can either save them, and their grudge will disappear for good... or destroy them, but their grudge will remain, and your current partner will pay the price.

* AssholeVictim: The humans who are responsible for killing the people who would become the vengeful spirits are often (but not always) among their victims.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The antagonists are the titular [[VengefulGhost spirits]], but, with a few exceptions, they are always tragic creatures. The real monsters, aside from the {{Big Bad}}s, are the humans who turned the spirits into what they are, and often serve as {{Asshole Victim}}s to be hated in place of the spirits. Just a few examples are a pedophile EvilPrincipal, a gang of rapists, a team of {{Mad Scientist}}s working for UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan, a dogmatic village, and a CorruptCorporateExecutive.
