Phasmophobia is an unusual survival horror, which was developed specifically for the 4-person cooperative mode. The game also offers support for virtual reality. The independent Kinetic Games studio is responsible for its development and release.

Phasmophobia is an unusual survival horror, which was created for cooperative mode and virtual reality (although we can also play without VR helmet). In this game we play the role of a ghost-hunting team in a haunted place. The game was developed and published by the independent Kinetic Games studio and is his debut project.

Mechanics

In Phasmophobia we observe the action from the first person perspective. The gameplay includes exploring haunted places and collecting evidence of ghosts. We use special equipment for this purpose, such as electromagnetic field meters, CTTV cameras or motion detectors (part of the equipment is managed from the truck which is our base - one of the team members is responsible for this).

It is worth noting that the longer we are in a given location (developers have prepared several different places - we have a choice of property, prison, canals or hospital), the more dangerous it becomes. There are more than ten unique types of ghosts in the game - each with its own unique characteristics, which makes subsequent investigations noticeably different from each other.
