How it feels

Playing feels like navigating a claustrophobic, grotesque maze under constant threat from unseen creatures, with a tense, solitary focus on solving a central puzzle to escape.

What players say

Players are split on Spectral Scream. Some see potential in its core mechanics and atmosphere, but many others call it an unfinished, janky Phasmophobia clone. The game is poorly explained with a punishing new player experience, and maps are often either tiny or huge empty mazes. Multiplayer is dead without friends, and the developers have not released updates or new content for over seven months.
