Phasmophobia is an unusual survival horror game, which was developed for 4-person co-op mode and virtual reality, but you can also play it alone and without a VR headset. In the game, players form a team of hunters and explore haunted locations to find evidence of the existence of ghosts. The independent studio Kinetic Games is responsible for the development and release of this production.

Tips for a good start

Equipment: all items such as flashlight, camera, candle, UV light, etc. you can buy in the ghost hunters' main room and take them with you on missions. You will keep the items only if you return from the mission safe and sound;
Setup phase: you have only 5 minutes to prepare for the mission, so take the key immediately, enter the building and start looking for signs of the ghosts' presence - during this time the should not attack you;
Goal: during each mission, your goal is to collect enough evidence to determine the type of ghost that haunts the building;
Ghost attacks: ghosts can attack anywhere, but they only haunt one room. When they get angry, they'll attack and kill anyone they catch.;
Communication: during missions, you can communicate with your team using voice chat or radio - then the voices will be slightly distorted (they sound like coming from walkie-talkies), but they can be used for communication over a longer distance;
Heartbeat: when you hear a thumping heartbeat it means that the spirit is near you. To avoid death, quickly hide in a closet or other hiding place, turn off the lights and don't make any sounds;
Sprint: your character runs fast enough to escape from the ghost if you don't get stuck on some obstacle (like furniture) or rush to the corner of the room;
Microphone: whether you use the push to talk option or your microphone is on all the time, everything you say will be heard by ghosts.
