About Bump in the Night
Bump in the Night is a single-player horror game where you are tasked with investigating a haunted location that features one of many unique ghosts and a multitude of different scares.
Explore a range of haunted locations, each with distinct map features, challenges, and varying difficulty levels. Certain ghosts may find it easier to use their unique abilities on specific maps or in different ways, and each location offers unique clues for certain types of evidence.
The ghosts in BITN can indeed enter such a state, but don't think that you are safe outside of those times - far from it. Keep aware, keep vigilant, because death can come for you and the investigators under your command in unexpected ways. Remember, you're in the ghost's territory for the entire duration of your mission.
Not a streamer? No problem! You can enable your Steam friends to control Bob and Susan via Steam chat messages, if you so desire.
For those not faint of heart, a second level of chat control (both Steam and Twitch) can be enabled allowing viewers to trigger scares and attacks.
Spooky Environments
Explore a range of haunted locations, each with distinct map features, challenges, and varying difficulty levels. Certain ghosts may find it easier to use their unique abilities on specific maps or in different ways, and each location offers unique clues for certain types of evidence.Meet Bob and Susan
Bob and Susan are at your beck and call! Assign tasks, distribute equipment, and specify areas for investigation as you see fit. Although they're capable of conducting autonomous exploration, strategically directing them towards suspected ghost locations increases the chances of making important discoveries. You can't leave the HQ but they can.And you can trust them. Right? Sure.Lead the Investigation
Your team has established a command center in one of the rooms on-site, serving as the operational hub for the mission. From here, you can take command by delegating tasks, orders and equipment to your NPC investigators. Monitor strategically placed cameras through the displays, watching out for paranormal activity. Additionally, document any evidence by taking photos and logging in your journalDeduce the Ghost
- Each Ghost has a unique set of three types of evidence it can trigger
- Ghosts have distinct personalities. The Trasgo likes to throw objects more than other ghosts. Ectophages like to mess with electronics. Shadows, unsurprisingly, like the darkness. Each of the other ghosts have their own likes, dislikes, and quirks as well.
- Finally, each ghost has a unique ability or behavior that typically comes out later in a mission. You'll need to figure out for yourself...
Stay Alive
A common staple of the paranormal investigation genre is the "hunt" where the ghost builds up to an active state where it becomes actually dangerous.The ghosts in BITN can indeed enter such a state, but don't think that you are safe outside of those times - far from it. Keep aware, keep vigilant, because death can come for you and the investigators under your command in unexpected ways.

Watched a few friends play and definitely had to get it. I didn't play phasmo when it was very popular and I've always wanted a ghost hunting game that was enjoyable solo, well this is that game. You are "stuck" inside the HQ room that has monitors, equipment, boards to view the map layout, you can control 2 NPCs , (bob and Susan) you tell them where to go, what item to grab/ place, they help you gather evidence to figure out what entity you're dealing with, there is ways to get out of the room, but be prepared... The game is early access so it's definitely gonna have some bugs that need to be tweaked and what not but none of them have been game breaking, some features aren't in yet... This game also has twitch integration, so your chat can help you by move the NPCs, making them grab or place items, or they can mess with you by turning the lights off on you or making it harder to gather evidence. The dev I have met is nice and been help in supporting smaller streamers who play this game. DEFINITELY worth the play and I'm excited to see what's yet to come.1 found this helpful
Bought this game after seeing a friend streaming it. This was absolute chaos and so much fun for me and my stream community! They loved being able to control the characters to cause chaos in the game. The dev hung out in our stream and when I tell y'all I am so hyped for the upcoming features! The Pros: - Stream integrations for chat commands - Single player that feels like a multiplayer - The jumpscares are GOOD - Appropriately scary fun - YOU CAN ADOPT CATS!!! The cons: - Obviously it's still early access and so some of the features aren't in yet - Cats are expensive (but worth it!) - No magnet to hang printouts in my office when chat sends me inappropriate faxes - A few bugs here and there but nothing game breaking and the dev was super responsive so I have full confidence they'll be worked on!1 found this helpful
I absolutely enjoy this game! The devs came into my stream and helped me out and watched as the game is still in early access. The community behind this game is amazing and I can't wait to really get used to it!
Extremely fun with Twitch integration! Cool concept as well. Can't wait for more maps and ghosts. :)
This is one of my new favorite games. 9/10 would recommend! The mechanic of having to "project manage" the investigators while still being spooked by the ghost and threatened bring a new level of pressure to get the NPCs to do what you need and find the evidence to stay alive. All while keeping them alive. I greatly enjoy the attitudes of the NPCs as well, they can be annoying and helpful and stubborn and it makes the game a little lighter in the fact that I literally was getting into verbal fights with individuals that couldn't even respond. I thoroughly enjoyed the spook factors for both the NPCs and myself in the Hub. and the fact that I can adopt kitties made me so happy and you better believe that I was spending my money on that more than equipment to help with hunts. The interactions I've had with the devs are very positive and I would highly recommend giving Bump In The Night a go. I will note - that if you greatly enjoy the thrill of investigating yourself, this may not be the game for you. But as someone who enjoys the puzzle behind making things work to get the information I need to succeed in a game, this was top tier.
A new approach on ghost hunting games?! I'm in! You direct 2 NPCs to go into the house with gadgets to determine evidence of the ghost while you stay back and listen to them over a radio and watching CCTV cameras. Beware though, the ghost can, and will, mess with you and the team as you try and investigate. Overall, I love the take on this genre and looking forward to seeing how the game progresses!
