🧟 Ghost Player Mode (Asymmetrical)
In Ghost Player mode, one player becomes the ghost.Interact with the map, scare investigators, lock doors, throw objects, and plan hunts strategically. Outplay the team by managing sanity, timing hunts, and creating fear before striking.
👻 Ghost AI Mode
In Ghost AI mode, the entity is controlled by an advanced AI that actively observes investigators, reacts to their actions, and builds pressure over time.It uses the environment, drains sanity, and hunts when the moment is right, creating tense, unpredictable investigations.
🔎 Play as the Investigator
Use classic paranormal equipment to gather real evidence and identify the ghost type.Be aware, the ghost sees and hears you. Every scare, interaction, or mistake can become valuable evidence if you stay calm under pressure.
🎧 Immersive Horror
Severance features realistic visuals, environmental audio, and a minimal UI for full immersion.Every sound, shadow, and flicker could be a clue… or a warning.
🛠 Signature Equipment
Arm yourself with classic paranormal tools like EMF meters and thermometers, alongside unique devices such as possession dolls to track and provoke the entity.🤝 True Co-op
Success relies on teamwork. Share evidence, communicate clearly, and watch each other’s backs, because whether it’s AI or a real player, the ghost is always listening.What Steam players say

I played this game for the first time yesterday as part of community night and I absolutely loved it. Getting to play as the ghost is such a cool feature. I also really like the fact that there are different ways to get evidence in comparison to other ghost games. The canvas and the doll possession are really cool additions for gathering evidence. The tutorial was very helpful. I think a tutorial for how to play as different ghosts would be helpful also. The lounge/lobby area before you load into the game is a cool feature as well especially the arcade game mini game. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys ghost hunting games!1 found this helpful
SEVERANCE — A Ghost Hunting Experience Worth Joining If you're looking for a ghost-hunting game that combines creepy investigations, teamwork, fun, and an incredible community, SEVERANCE is absolutely worth checking out. As an official content creator for SEVERANCE, I've had the opportunity to experience the game and, more importantly, become part of a community that makes every investigation even more enjoyable. The game creates those unforgettable moments where you never quite know what you're going to encounter, and playing alongside other people makes every session feel like a new adventure. 👻 The Community Is What Makes It Special One of my favorite things about SEVERANCE is the community. Everyone has the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, and find others to play with. Whether you're experienced with ghost-hunting games or completely new to the genre, there's a place for you here. And if you're looking for a great way to meet the community, Community Nights happen every Tuesday and Friday! These nights are a fantastic opportunity to jump into the game, team up with new players, share some laughs, and experience the paranormal together. 🎮 Fun…
The game is more challenging than your normal Phas and TOS games. Makes you work for it. Super cool with the details you need to pay attention to. Community is also cool as hell. Played with a few CC's and a creator and they explained everything to me more in depth. **You can also BE THE GHOST** which is one of my favorite features since no other game has it. Give this game a chance! You'll like it!
Severance delivers a thrilling asymmetric horror experience that pits four ghost hunters against a single player controlling the ghost, setting itself apart by letting you step directly into the haunting entity's shoes. Playing as the ghost allows you to experience the match from a completely fresh perspective, actively terrorizing the team, manipulating the environment, and hunting down players instead of just trying to survive. Backed by frequent developer updates that constantly bring new content, gameplay tweaks, and bug fixes, Severance stays fresh, competitive, and highly replayable for both sides.
i bought this game when it first dropped and honestly fresh drops are always buggy. i personally love that the developer of this listens to the players and works to fix any bugs or problems, i don't have many hours poured in to this game, but i love that this game allows me and my friends to hunt and kill each other in it. i bought it for several of my friends and each one of us do not regret ever getting this game
To all of those who think this is a phasmophobia copy, that is not the case. This game is it's own game. Yes it may have similarities, however, there are so many unique mechanics that make it completely different. Despite the game having a lot of potential, it is not a game that I personally can play. When you look for a public lobby on all regions, you will find nothing. Maybe I was unlucky every time I looked, or perhaps the people who enjoy the game have friends who are willing to play. Either way, because of that, I would not recommend the game just yet. Unless you enjoy single player, this isn't ready for you. Additionally you cannot play as a ghost in single player despite that being the main selling point of this game. This game runs smoothly for me, but for low end computers you may have struggles. Someone I once knew, A young streamer who wanted me to gift this game to him, had problems with his frame rate and dropped the game because of it. For all devs who helped him and delt with him, apologies, he is quite rude.
