How it feels

A tense, cooperative ghost-hunting game where players must carefully observe and document paranormal events while avoiding dangerous entities, with high stakes for mistakes.

What players say

Players compare DeathWatchers to Phasmophobia but note it is distinct, focusing on memory and spotting anomalies rather than ghost behavior. It is janky and has performance issues, especially frame drops during events, but the active developer and low price win praise. A tutorial bug and some asset reuse are criticized.
