How it feels

You and your team creep through haunted spaces, using tools and rituals to find and destroy a possessed object while a hostile entity stalks you, keeping you on edge.

What players say

Players compare it to Phasmophobia but say it stands apart with a cursed object hunt and exorcism mechanic. Many enjoy the multiplayer scares, but bugs like getting locked out of the house frustrate others, and some call it a shallow clone with low polish.
