The gameplay is praised for its originality and variety, featuring unique ghost mechanics, a class-based system, and engaging investigative elements that keep each session fresh. While some players find certain mechanics slow or janky, the overall experience is immersive and rewarding, encouraging strategic thinking and teamwork. The game successfully differentiates itself from similar titles by offering a more dynamic and story-driven approach to ghost hunting.
- “On the positive side: the game has a lot of good mechanics to really mix things up, including classes, a fully fleshed progression system, and the ability to purchase more information on entities to aid in your survival.”
- “The gameplay is interesting and varied depending on which ghost you are dealing with.”
- “The base mechanics for figuring out the mission's exorcism helps add to the originality as well; it's just that no other game in this genre tries to tell you a story like that, and a different one every round, no less.”
- “I also find the exorcism segments to be a bit slow and mechanically obtuse, with the runner's and mannequin's probably being the most frustrating to figure out in my personal experience.”

The game's story is praised for its depth and unique approach to ghost hunting, with players enjoying the individual backstories of each ghost and the need to uncover artifacts related to their pasts. However, some reviewers noted that the narrative can become repetitive due to limited variety in the journals and artifacts, suggesting a desire for a more cohesive and diverse storytelling experience. Overall, the game offers an immersive experience that stands out in its genre, but there is room for improvement in expanding the narrative elements.
- “I know a lot of people who recommended this game, and like a review below states, a lot of Phasmophobia players loved it for its rich story.”
- “Each ghost has its own story, and you have to find the artifacts associated with that story to exercise the ghost.”
- “I recommend this game for people looking for a new ghost hunting experience with unique storytelling which really lets us know what kind of person the ghost was in their past life, which just adds to how immersive the game can be.”
- “The 'story investigation' is a bit light, and you can definitely make it a bit rote, but the ambiguity can lead to some tense gameplay.”
- “Though, the stories get a little boring since they seem to be the same journals just in a rotation, and most of the time they do not tell an actual story.”
- “All it really needs at the moment is more random story possibilities with corresponding haunted items.”
