Phasmophobia was all the rage when it was released on Steam last September 2020. This new take on the horror survival genre has earned it the best debut game from the Game Awards back in December, and a nomination as VR Game of the Year in the 2020 Steam Awards. The game has also garnered an overwhelmingly positive review on Steam.

Ghost-busting extraordinaire You play as paranormal investigators, exploring different maps for paranormal entities. You use different equipment to help you determine what type of ghost is haunting the location. You earn ingame cash for every evidence you get or objectives you finish. The cash you get can be used to buy new equipment or upgrade existing ones. The main goal is to find out what type of phantom is haunting the map. Currently there 12 types of ghosts in the game. Each ghost has three distinct pieces of evidence which you find using the equipment given to you. You need to be vigilant as well, as the ghosts share two types of evidence that make the game much more exciting and challenging.
