Phobia gameplay
Phasmophobia is a horror game where you play as a paranormal investigator trying to figure out the types of ghosts that haunt different locations. You can play alone or with up to three friends. The game is viewed from a first-person perspective, making you feel like you’re actually there.
One cool thing about Phasmophobia is that you can talk to your friends locally and globally using voice chat via walkie-talkie. The game can even listen to what you say through voice recognition, affecting certain equipment and even in-game ghosts.
Before starting the mission, you and your friends gather in a lobby where you can choose your appearance from a selection of paranormal investigators. You then vote on where to go and set the difficulty level. You purchase and upgrade equipment at a computer in the lobby, then load it into a van to carry out missions.
There are twelve different locations to explore, ranging from small houses and farmhouses to larger places like a high school or mental hospital. There are twenty-four different types of ghosts in the game, each with unique behaviors that make the game interesting. Your goal is to collect evidence and figure out what kind of ghost you’re dealing with. But be careful, because as you progress, your sanity will decline and ghosts may start hunting you.
To be successful, you’ll need to use a variety of tools such as EMF readers, thermometers, and even items like crosses for protection. As you complete objectives and take photos, you can earn money and experience points to unlock more maps, levels, and upgrades.
The game also features a photo system where you can take photos of ghosts and other spooky things to earn extra money. There are a variety of devices to choose from, such as cameras, flashlights, and even psychotropic medications.
The ghosts you encounter come from myths and legends from different cultures, such as the banshees of Irish folklore or the yokai and yuri of Japanese folklore. Each ghost type has unique abilities and may be hunted at different times.
As you play, you need to keep an eye on your sanity, which affects the ghost’s behavior. When things get heated, the game introduces ghosts to try and wipe out your hunt. You can adjust the game difficulty to your liking through custom settings and get more rewards based on the challenges you set.
In the end, Phasmophobia is all about teamwork, using equipment wisely, and surviving weird encounters. It’s a thrilling, immersive ghost hunting experience that will keep players on the edge of their seats.
