(Just for starters. A few images and info on the announcement trailer. I need some help with citations.)

=== Announcement Trailer ===
*It was briefly considered to have the player spend [[Coin]]s to buy hints from [[Professor E. Gadd]]. This was abandoned due to the belief this would discourage players from seeking out hints.<ref name="Kotaku">Stephen Totillo (February 6, 2020).

*It was initially impossible to capture [[Morty]] but this was dropped after consideration that some players would want to capture every single ghost.<ref name="Kotaku"></ref>

===General===
*Early interviews mentioned that the game's multi-floor setting would feature heavily in the game's puzzle; an example given was that the player could find water dripping down on the floor and understand this as a cue to explore the room above the current location. These puzzles were largely scaled back in the final game due to players finding them too confusing in practice and such puzzles were "the hardest to develop and the most challenging to change after the fact".<ref name="Kotaku"></ref>
* "Ice" and "Fire" floors were developed, but were not included due not fitting the game's concept of featuring either expected locations for a hotel or themed locations that would surprise the player.<ref name="Kotaku"></ref>
