Seeing all the negative reviews and seeing the game was a "mixed" overall i had no choice but to download this game. Having played phasmophobia ,ghost exile, this is a ghost, ghost hunters.... etc i wanted to see if this brings a unique twist to the co-op horror genre and in short yes it does. The mechanics are easy to pick up and the way you play is simple enough ( maybe because of being a veteran ghost hunter i'm not sure). Honestly the atmosphere is on point and does make you wonder if it is hunting or just scaring you as you play , there's alot to factor in during the hunts like making sure you have routes to avoid the ghost and also enough sprint to get out of line of sight and hopefully hide or loop them ! The perks are a nice idea to customise the way you play and for the time i've played so far i've enjoyed this game , the only minor bug i came across is that i wasn't able to invite my steam friend , but they could invite me so all good there. These types of games always reach their fullest potential when you play with other people and help make fun memories, the devs have done a great job on the game and i really hope there is more to come , like new ghosts , maps , too…

The game is decent and I know that there was a lot of love poured into this game but this is not worth 10$. I think this game is allot better than Phasmophobia because it is highly customizable and actually has you fighting the ghost rather than just uncovering it. The maps are also mostly good. Where the game is lacking is polish, frequently the game bugs out and no longer allows you to use items, the gameplay loop is always the same since objects always behave the same way and the leveling system is just as slow as it is In Phasmo. Overall I would recommend this game, just not for 10 bucks. 5 would be a much more fitting price IMO.

Overall Rating: 7/10 - Another solid addition to co-op horror ghost hunting games. One of my favorite things is the ability to exorcize the demons you identify. Solid game.

So far. So good, my sister and I did not care much for it when it first came out. However we'll give it a shot now I jumped in a single player game. It's done well, and I like the overall look of it more then Phasma... but this is a direct competitor and if they want to make it big, they should advertise? Anyway I'll update my review if there is a deadly bug with no work around. Until then, get this game. it's 10 bucks.

Update: The game has been updated and release notes show it is being released from EA. Switching to positive per the below concerns, but will update upon playing again. Hopefully the dev will continue updating past 1.0. --- The last update was May 12 and it's now Sept 25. There seems to be no activity or updates from the developers. Shame, because it had some interesting ideas. Edit: Response to Dev - I left the Discord a while ago due to inactivity. This "communication" we had was from when talent trees and custom mode was introduced...again, May 12. If there are upcoming content patches, it should be posted here where people are actually buying the game instead of it being exclusive to Discord. I will change my review when content updates hit again and the dev communicates more clearly outside of Discord. "The last Discord update is from July and you left the server just minutes ago." - I left the discord sometime in Sept/Oct. There was no activity from May (last patch) to then, so I left. This arguement is stupid, for the record. I switched the review to positive based on the latest patch. With your next "edit of edit", consider keeping your fanbase, reviewers,…

This game is fun if you are looking for spookiness and problem solving and working with your friends. Pretty great for quick games/rounds and not bad for early access.
