Phasmophobia is a paranormal horror game developed and published by British indie game studio Kinetic Games. The game became available in early access for Microsoft Windows with virtual reality support in September 2020. In the game, one to four players take on the role of ghost hunters who work to complete a contract where they must identify the type of ghost haunting a designated site and complete other optional objectives.

Runs well on modern hardware.

The game, when it works, is fun and has been for years. What is not fun is the lack of demonstrable skill at Kinetic Games in understanding and developing their own game and giving it the respect it, and the players, deserve. The Customisation update that has rolled out has embarrassingly poor quality rigging and animation - animators please next time get a mirror and a video camera and try the poses out BEFORE you model them in game and learn about IK constraints to stop bone-breaking poses, critical mechanical issues that break gameplay - various items and tools do not function as they should leading to deaths and gear/money loss, and an overall rushed, untested, unpolished and frustrating experience. For a game this far into it's dev cycle and built off the back of pre-made and un-updated assets, and with a significant amount of income, it's shameful to push out something as poor quality as this. If the game mechanics don't work you cannot play the game. Do better Kinetic Games.
how does this game feel less polished than it did 3 years ago? the animations are awful, the controls are somehow worse, and the equipment is ♥♥♥♥. what the ♥♥♥♥ happened?
Aside from the bugs (Except getting stuck behind a toilet and dying one time), this game is tons of fun. I really enjoy playing this with my husband and our son when we can convince him to join us. It was a little scary at first but once I got into the flow, it was highly enjoyable.
