Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror. Paranormal activity is on the rise and it’s up to you and your team to use all the ghost-hunting equipment at your disposal in order to gather as much evidence as you can.

— a player, Steam review · 197 hrs played“I have over 1000 LEGIT played hours and this is the worst update to ever come out, the journal messes with the lighting in and outside of houses and turns the whole game pitch black and also the corners of the journal are darkened and are hardly readable.”
— a player, Steam review · 177 hrs played“Please just revert this update and pretend it never happened, Honestly embarrassing that it was released in its current state.”
