What players say

Players describe Polterheist as an asset flip with no tutorial and confusing mechanics. The game is extremely difficult, with frequent instant deaths and a cough mechanic that requires a quick-time event to avoid the ghost. Reviews are nearly unanimous that the game is unplayable and a waste of money.
