Phasmophobia
Released in September 2020, Phasmophobia is a psychological horror game developed and published by Kinetic Games. As Engadget has pointed out in its report, the premise of the game remains the same as far as its console version is concerned.
This co-op game requires four players to work together to gather evidence of paranormal activity. In order to do so, the team visits haunted locations and use ghost-hunting equipment such as night vision cameras, EMF readers, thermometers, and spirit boxes.
The game likewise lets you your own voice to interact with the ghosts themselves. This could be done while using the ouija board or while using the spirit box during EVP sessions.
However, playes should note that these ghosts are not all that friendly and have the capacity to kill the players. Players then must work together to survive the 20 different ghost types that Phasmophobia has. With four default difficulties to choose from, players get to pick just how easy or how difficult they want the game to be as they explore 10 different locations that have their own twists and turns.
