Boo Men Steal From Ghosts, Stay in the Light

You and up to three friends break into a house with a shopping list of stolen goods. Someone guards the breaker in the basement, someone else sweeps the bedrooms, and everyone yells over proximity voice chat when a light dies in the wrong room. The game scales to your crew size, so a duo and a full four-player squad both get a fair scare.

The best part is how the roles fall apart. Your designated breaker-watcher gets scared, wanders off, and suddenly the whole house goes dark. When someone dies, they are not out of the fun: their flashlight stays behind as a decoy, and they roam on as a sheet ghost, heckling the survivors. Wins feel earned, losses feel hilarious, and the next round is one click away.

There are no guns, no salt circles, no ghost-hunting gadgets. Your entire survival strategy is the light switch. Boo Men are helpless in a lit room and lethal in the dark, so you search under the lamps, then flip them off behind you to save power.

The catch: the house runs on a limited supply. Turn on too many lights and the breaker trips, plunging everything into darkness at the worst possible moment. So you creep through the house one lit room at a time, switching a lamp on as you kill the one behind you, rationing electricity like a bank job.

Fed up with hiding? Play PvP and be the Boo Man yourself, hunting your friends across up to 5 players. Each Boo Man has their own set of unique abilities to learn and master, so playing the monster is a different skill from fleeing one.

It flips the whole game around. As a burglar you watch the dark for movement; as the Boo Man you learn which lights your prey depends on and when to snuff them. One round you are the one screaming into the microphone, the next you are the reason someone else is.
