Hunt your own friends as the ghost
Ghost Player mode hands one of your co-op friends the keys to the haunting. The ghost player messes with the map, throws objects, locks doors, scares investigators, and decides when sanity is low enough to start a hunt.
It turns a normal evidence run into a mind game. You know the ghost is Dave, and Dave knows you always hide in the same closet. Playing as the ghost and timing your own scares against friends is a highlight, tense and chaotic in the best way.
Solve the haunting together
As investigators, you enter haunted locations with EMF meters, thermometers, video cameras, and stranger tools like possession dolls. You watch for evidence and behavioral tells, share what you found, and agree on the ghost type before the hunt begins.
The ghost sees and hears you, whether it is smart AI that observes and builds pressure or a friend listening in. Realistic visuals, environmental audio, and a minimal UI keep every flicker and footstep suspicious. Success relies on clear calls and watching each other's backs.
How does co-op play work?
How many co-op friends can join you?
Up to five players in one online lobby. You can run a full crew of investigators against Ghost AI, or switch to Ghost Player mode where one of you takes the ghost role and the rest investigate. Solo play is also supported if you want to learn the tools first.
What does the ghost player actually do?
It is less about jumpscares on command and more about creating fear, cutting off escape routes, and striking when the team splits up.
What do investigators do while the ghost plots?
They gather real evidence with paranormal equipment and watch how the entity behaves. Different ghost types have specific tells, so staying calm, comparing notes, and calling out scares and interactions matters. Every mistake can still become a clue if the team talks it through.
Do you need to learn a lot before playing with friends?
A little patience helps. There is a tutorial now, plus ghost traits listed on the lobby laptop, and easier locations to learn on before trying harder ones. Give yourselves one slow round to learn the equipment, then let someone take the ghost role once everyone knows the basics.
