Phasmophobia
Puzzle Tactical Indie
Phasmophobia is a cooperative horror investigation game played from a first-person perspective, supporting one to four players. Players take on the role of ghost hunters who must identify the type of ghost haunting a designated location by gathering evidence using various paranormal investigation equipment. The game features speech recognition, allowing ghosts and certain equipment to respond to words spoken by players. As investigators spend time at the site, their sanity decreases, eventually triggering hunts during which the ghost actively pursues and can kill players. The game includes multiple location types of varying size, twenty-nine ghost types each with unique behaviors and evidence, and a progression system where players earn money to unlock and upgrade equipment. Virtual reality is optionally supported.

Is anyone else playing this?

It kind of blew up in popularity on Twitch, and honestly, I can understand why! It's a ghost hunting game that has been developed by a one man team. It's a little buggy still, things need polished, but for what is there, it plays very nice. Think of your stereotypical ghost hunting show equipment- spirit boxes, emf readers, etc... and that's what you use to hunt ghosts in Phasmophobia.

The audio is what really impresses me. It seriously sounds like there's a ghost breathing down your neck when it spawns behind you. ;-;
 
Nope.. I'm not a PC gamer, and there's no concrete plans for it to be released on consoles although it's thought that it *could* happen in the future.

I have just seen this though.. :LOL:

 
It's really janky, but the silliness helps break the tension. So I really hope that they don't fix the dorky animations and stuff...

I liked how much of the fear came from the people playing it, when the game wasn't really doing anything!

I'll be keeping my eye on it for sure....
 
I have a lot of hope for the game - and the developer is very active, despite the game taking off. It's a good sign.
 
Anyone here into some Phasmophobia? I played it a bit with friends a while back, and I gotta admit it's a ton of fun if you can get a group together. I wish you could move around a bit faster, but I suppose that's part of the gimmick. Anyway, there's a ton of streamers who play this game, and it makes some funny content for sure. Talking trash to ghosts is always a joy for me haha!

I wish more games like this utilized the mic more. I bet there's so much you can do game wise with your voice.
