The lack of post-processing effects can affect the gameplay experience, because it is used to display the player characters mood in the game. | Yuri |

Runs above full speed. Filtering causes image to halo (double/triple effects) when any resolution above native is used... | |

The game is supported at 1080p 60 FPS, no lags, bugs or freezes. I did not enable "Enable HW Hacks", because some of the settings that are written for "Troubleshooting" cause the game to slow down. | Chern40+7 |

The game runs great at up to 5x native res. for me, OpenGL has very minor slowdowns at specific times, and is recommended to reset the emulator every so often. D3D11 handles it better but shadows are glitchy. Mirror scenes show garbage due to a texture bug on any of the hardware renderers still.
Other observations: Use "half-pixel format: normal (vertex)" instead of texture offsets to completely avoid the left border of the screen to display garbage and upscaling lines on 3D. Using "Round sprite: Full" removes the small upscaling lines in menus/sprites, but makes lines show up on 3D when using half pixel format hack. Disabling half-pixel format hack and enabling texture offset 300x500 (or 500x500) while enabling full round sprite makes menus upscale without any lines and lines on 3d environment are a bit less noticeable, but still present, the left edge of the screen still gets a bit glitchy. I recommend using half-pixel hack and round sprite: half for the best experience. |

Trivia
- Original names: デメント (SLPM-65913) & (SLPM-66638) & (NPJD-00032)
- Also known as Demento (JP)
- PAL version shows a menu as soon as the game boots that lets you choose between 50Hz, 60Hz and progressive (480p) display modes. On NTSC-U/J versions, a button combo is needed while booting instead.
Known Issues
Upscaling lines on new PCSX2 builds
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: On a recent change introduced in v1.7.4794, this game shows upscaling lines in some resolutions.
- Workaround: Use any of the following resolutions: 2x, 4x, 8x. Only these resolutions don't show this bug.
Last shown bloom effect stays on screen after switching from Software to Hardware renderer
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: When switching from Software to Hardware renderer, the bloom post-processing effect that last appeared on screen carries to the Hardware renderer and stays on screen indefinitely. Happens with lights/lamps/luminiscents etc.
- Workaround: Avoid light sources like the ones mentioned when switching, or open the item menu when switching renderers.
Upscaling lines on objects far away during cutscenes
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: When upscaling, during some scenes (the most noticeable one is the first in-game cutscene where you first meet Daniella), some minor lines might show on the background, they look like the post processing doesn't wrap all the way and it leaves a line of the environment without said effect(s).
- Workaround: There are none as of yet. It's a very minor issue and only noticeable if you are looking for it.
Glitchy shadows when using Direct 3D 11 and 12 renderer
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Shadows glitch, wrap incorrectly or stretch in broken ways when in D3D11 or D3D12, especially during some cutscenes.
- Workaround: Switch to OpenGL or Vulkan renderer.
Cutscene effects don't show up on the borders of the screen when using widescreen patch
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Some effects like water, light, or particle effects don't appear on the borders of the screen when using the widescreen patch. This is due to said effects being semi-transparent FMVs that get applied over the in-game cutscene. Also, due to how the widescreen patch works, more part of the environment is shown and sometimes textures clipping or dissapearing can be seen when the camera gets close to a wall/floor.
- Workaround: Don't use the widescreen patch, or a different widescreen patch could be made which basically "cuts" the upper and lower edges of the screen to make it widescreen instead of expanding the horizontal FOV. The cutscenes have vertical bars when playing without the patch so they already are 16:9 meaning it could be made and it wouldn't show any of these issues.
Fixed Issues
Mirror glitch
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: In Hardware mode parts of mirrors are glitched out and appear in various colors due to a GS texture bug.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Halo effect surround characters
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: When upscaling in hardware mode, characters have a halo-like effect surrounding them due to an issue with bloom processing at higher than native resolutions.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Dull graphics and no post-processing effects
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: The graphics look very bland; some night levels are darker than normal because of the lack of post processing and characters lack shadows.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Red/green tint on cutscenes, other visual bugs on newer PCSX2 builds
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: On version 1.7.4297, a texture cache system overhaul was introduced, this has a bug that affects haunting ground. On cutscenes that use depth of field (DoF) effects, which are the majority, a red/green tint envelops the whole scene, some other visual bugs also occur such as getting the game's logo burned on screen after starting a new game.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Windows don't cast light when they should
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: After version 1.7.4692, windows that cast light don't cast any light in-game, this is because of how the normal (Vertex) Half Pixel Offset upscaling fix (which is set to this by default for this game) functions after this version.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
