Review

In this chaotic multiplayer game, 8 players compete against one another as ghosts while a monster is chasing everyone. The goal of each match is to outlast the other players. Each player can possess different objects and grab different abilities that either help with survival or can sabotage other players.

Gameplay Chaotic multiplayer

I like the quirky ghost/haunted theme that goes into many of the game's details and Easter eggs. I also like the core gameplay loop and how chaotic everything is. There are so many sweaty strategies for each map and it can sometimes become trivial to win once one understands the strategies. There also aren't a great variety of maps so the game can get repetitive very fast.

Conclusion

A fun game for an afternoon but not much long-term replay value.

Overall rating: 7.2
