About Phantom Hysteria

Phantom Hysteria is a 1-4 player online co-op ghost hunting game. Take on ghost hunting contracts with your taped-together equipment as one of four playable P.I.N.E characters. Hone your skills for your designated class, utilize an array of equipment to decipher your clues, and use that to identify your contracted apparition.

Choosing from a variety of thrilling maps, you and your team will be required to investigate your phantom, untether them, and finally neutralize them from this plane - that is if you can manage.

Investigate

Using your taped-together gear, it is up to you as a member of P.I.N.E to find out which phantom is attached to the location. Using tools like the EMF detector, temperature gun, and phantom book, you will be able to identify which ghost type you are up against.

Untether the Phantom


As a P.I.N.E member, it is your job to take care of the phantoms. You will be required to hunt down and untether the phantom from this world. Once you know what kind of phantom you're up against, you will have to search for totems, runes, or statues to successfully loosen the phantom’s grip from this world.

Neutralize the Phantom


What’s this? Flesh? Yes, you’ve done it P.I.N.E! You've removed the phantom's ties to the spirit world and made them corporeal. Now you must neutralize the phantom, but they will fight back with everything they have. By using a weapon of your choice, anywhere from an EMFG rifle to a holy water-filled water gun, you can banish the phantom and restore peace.

P.I.N.E Classes


In Phantom Hysteria, you will be able to choose and level up 4 different classes to help you in your fight against these deadly phantoms! Each class is unique to cater to all play styles including support and tank.

Arcana Cards

Arcana Cards are purchasable perks that can be switched out before every game that range in rarity, from common to unique. They can help you with stamina, health, adjustments to weapons, and more! Using these tools will be beneficial, and at times integral, for your unceasing battle to rid this world of phantoms.

Phantom Types

As a member of the P.I.N.E ghost hunting crew, you must know what you're going up against. When investigating, your phantom will be one of these phantom types shown above.

The Phantoms


One of the leading antagonists, Morrigan Payne is a powerful witch unshackled by death. Originally Bronwyn Craddock, the once-kind faith healer was murdered by witch hunters alongside her people.
What became of Molly Adkins should have been avoidable. A young teen living in the early 1970s, Molly was supposed to go to a movie theater with her cousin, but on that fateful night, fell victim to drunk driving. Battered, broken, and drowned, Molly wanders the earth in a haze of fear and denial.
Lucas Jones was a gangster of New Orleans, a made man of the Mahoney crime family. When he began to soar in popularity and status in the family, his don interrupted his flaming rise to power by pouring molten gold down his throat.

Unfortunately, despite having a cool concept, at the end of the day this game couldn't decide if it wanted to be a ghost investigation game, or a pve shooter and did both poorly. The game has now been officially abandoned, as announced in the discord; "After much consideration and deliberation, we regret to inform you that the upcoming update will mark the final content release for Phantom Hysteria." this game is not worth buying, even when it's on sale at 5 dollars. You will not get 5 dollars of enjoyment from this game.

This game was a blast with friends. Unfortunately, they had grand ideas and couldn't bring those ideas to the game. Had such potential and is sad that this is now abandoned.

I want to recommend this game because it has so much promise but as many early access games go it's a broken mess. I'll update my review when the game is updated and the problems are fixed. My friends and I really like the game-play. We joke that Phasmo as an fps. But there were 3 major concerns. First is the glaring bug that prevents us from getting ash, money and class xp at the end of rounds. Even when correctly identifying the ghost and completing the banishment. This is game-breaking and limits us to the default loadout every game. Second is the evidence unresponsiveness. This is a common problem with Phasmo clones but half the evidences in the game (Spirit Box, UV and Freezing Temps) are finicky and do not give responses. Leaving us to guess. Which sucks because one of the game mechanics is a wrong guess punishment that gives the ghost regeneration. Third some of the ghosts are a little overpowered. Lucas is the biggest offender of this. He just shows up, shoots you for 5% of your health and teleports off before you can get the default ghost gun started. Overall I say keep this on your wishlist but don't get it until they patch this stuff out. I really want this game …
