Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
optimize the game to be playable again. the old version used to work. but now the game is unplayable with issues like fps stutters and bad textures. i would love to play this game again if it becomes optimized.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
From my 2 hours of playtime, the only one thing it genuinely does well is the creepy atmosphere, the environments and sound design are nice, and there are moments where it feels like it’s building toward something great but that's about it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The animations of the characters are, for the most part, pretty good too.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
This game is unfun, unoptimized, poorly mastered, abandonware, and lacks any significant improvement over phasmophobia, its competitor.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The co-op element makes it especially fun, since the shared fear creates memorable moments every session.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Difficulty wise, the game seems pretty balanced and almost too easy at times on “easy”, but if you bump up the difficulty, the ghost seems to interact less and less with its environment meaning you can’t get the evidence you need to ID it.
