The verdict
Scarier, jumpscare-heavy Phasmophobia-style co-op ghost hunt with exorcisms and great visuals. Skip it if undisclosed AI art bothers you or you need rock-solid performance and voice chat.
Great for
Friend groups who want a jumpscare-heavy co-op ghost hunt with exorcism objectives
Main risk
Scripted scares get stale, and crashes, voice chat bugs and undisclosed AI art can sour it
What changed in the last 30 days

Many recent negative reviews cite undisclosed AI-generated art, plus crashes, optimization and multiplayer issues. Likely driven by the AI discovery, though not certain.
