You and up to three friends are ghost hunters sent into haunted houses with EMF readers, spirit boxes and thermometers. Your job is to figure out what kind of ghost it is before it kills you. The ghost hears your actual voice through your mic.

Loved

Tips
Play it better
- Turn the fuse box on first and find the ghost room by checking for freezing temperatures.
- Each ghost type leaves three kinds of evidence; narrow it down in the journal.
- Say the ghost's name with care; it can make it angrier.
- Crucifixes placed in the ghost room can stop a hunt from starting.
- Smudge sticks drive the ghost off or stop a hunt for a short time.
- During a hunt, hide and stay quiet; talking into your mic gives you away.
- Keep an eye on your team's sanity; low sanity makes hunts more likely.
