Very fun and intense jump scare horror game with unpredictable ghosts and tasks that keep each session fresh and thrilling.
Excellent co-op gameplay emphasizing teamwork, communication, and strategy, especially fun and chaotic with friends.
Strong atmosphere created by sound design, lighting, and environmental details enhances immersion and suspense.
Good value for the price with regular updates, active developers who fix bugs and listen to player feedback.
Unique concept blending mundane cleaning tasks with escalating supernatural threats that sets it apart from typical ghost-hunting games.
High replayability due to randomized ghosts, tasks, and procedural elements making every run feel unique.

Difficulty can feel unbalanced and punishing, especially on lower difficulties, leading to frequent player deaths and frustration.
Progression system and perks are flawed; perks must be repurchased after death and earning currency is slow.
Limited content at launch with few maps, ghost types, and cosmetic options leading to repetitive gameplay over time.
Technical issues such as bugs, glitches, poor optimization, and connectivity problems affect gameplay quality.
Some gameplay mechanics (e.g., ghost spawning too close, ghosts killing in light) are inconsistent and detract from fairness and immersion.
Voice chat and controller support are lacking or problematic, diminishing multiplayer experience for some players.
