ACCIDENTAL SHIT POSTER


Do you love dumb ghost hunter crap? This is the game you didn't know you wanted! Use an assortment of ghost hunting equipment to identify the entity haunting the map.

I stumbled across this on steam the other day, and despite being in early access its already pretty fleshed out. You and up to three other people are tasked with searching for clues to determine what kind of ghost slumming around each location. Use spirit boxes, emf detectors, uv flashlights, and cameras to narrow down your quarry from a list of tells in your journal. The better you do at detecting your paranormal friend the more money you get to spend on more gadgets for the next round. Phasmophobia even utilizes the microphone, allowing you to talk to/piss off the ghosts, helping draw them out. Be careful though, as too much attention and they'll start hunting you.

While it has full vr support, I lack the setup (and balls) to test it, but from what I've read it seems to work fairly well. I haven't played a ton, but pubbies actually seem to be pretty chill from my experience. Oh, and its only like $13 bux right now.


Anyway, here's a trailer, you should play this game.

Edit: guess I should link to the actual game or something. https://store.steampowered.com/app/739630/Phasmophobia/

Edit 2: Oh hey, people are posting in the thread! Here's the info for discord, posted on page 2

This seems really cool but I'm worried that other devs are coming dangerously close to my own VR idea, which is a haunted house game in which absolutely nothing happens and the only scary thing is you constantly freaking yourself out thinking that something is going to happen, just like real haunted houses

The nothing happens and freaking yourself out is part of the game, until things happen and you get murdered by a pissed off ghost.

also, can you see ghosts in video cameras? I just realized I've never actually seen a ghost from the van, and I've never heard anyone else say they've seen one from the van either.

I have no idea what trello is, but after looking at the link that seems like a solid addition, thanks
