The verdict
An action-leaning Phasmophobia-style co-op ghost hunt where you weaken and capture ghosts; fun with friends, but plagued by server and bugs. Skip it if you play solo or want real investigation.
Great for
Friend groups who want chaotic, action-oriented co-op ghost hunting with jump scares
Main risk
Server/connection problems and bugs, plus gameplay that turns easy and repetitive after a few runs
What players love
