✦ AI summary

Phantom Watcher is a free-to-play ghost-hunting game with a unique premise that some players find engaging, particularly those who complete it multiple times to unlock all collectibles and reach high ranks. However, the game suffers from significant execution issues including poor controls, missing basic settings like flashlight toggles, unclear mechanics that require holding rather than pressing buttons, and a generally unpolished feel that frustrates players despite its promising concept.

Even though this is a small game i think its great i have play thru every mode and beat it countless times to collect all the files. 13/13 patient files and 6/6 staff files and hit level 55 (rank phantom watcher). The idea is unique and ghost banishing is great. I only dont know if theres any secrets to the game. Last staff file that you get makes me think theres more maybe a secret but I Im not sure.

Another f2p game with nice idea, concept but awful executed. Lack of settings, controls, turning on/off the flashlight & other basic elements make it to look & feel bad. Maybe with improvements it will even worth some money, but atm not even to download it.

like phasmophobia you need to find evidence and ghost, but on this game you just running and doesnt have any items for make you can easily find the ghost, after generator 0% you need to reset the generator, the generator is nearby cafetaria, after you found the generator you need to reset by pressing LMB (Left Mouse Button) but doesnt work right? the reset button need to HOLD LMB not only PRESS. good luck, i was enjoying this game :D
