What would you call the genre for this game/games like this

[Eve]

I think there's enough games similar to this where I think its sort of its own genre. specifically games like this game, phasmophobia, Ghost Exorcism INC ETC.
Games (typically horror games) that involve proximity based chat where players have to work together to survive while completing a task, and theres usually another player directing people on what to do to complete the mission.

Extraction Horror? or a horror game where you leave a "base" explore a "thing" and solve,gather a "objective" then return so im calling Extraction Horror

yeah that's probably the best way to describe it

[Femboi UwU]

proximity based objective horror?

[Hugo the Dwarf]

Collect and Extraction, Roguelike (no Rogue-lite because failure you lose it all, and player level doesn't do anything atm), and Horror

couldn't have phrased it better, I'd also add something the theme of escape from it so something like Extract and Escape Horror as many times you end up having to flee or to strive for escaping the situation, GTFO and DRG come to mind (tho DRG doesnt isnt a horror)

Tachycardic horror

Can't really relate this game to any ghost hunting games unfortunetaly, they are very different. For me this is a first SCP-like survival horror where you have to not only escape, but also come back with lots of stuff to progress. Not to mention that you must prepare your crew before you go in. I've seen none games except Lethal Company to have that formula.

Extraction roguelike masoquistic horror

Extraction Horror sounds good.
I wish there were more new game terms to describe these genres as such (looking at you mindless vampire survivor clones.. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I wish I could blacklist them)

Streamer-bait. A genre that gets popular because streamers play for a few hours to entertain their audience while screaming in a mic.

This game is honestly fairly similar to Golden Light. Extraction Horror works. I called it a team looter - horror game a few times.

Unlike Among Us or Fall Guys however, this game has quite a few places to go and will most likely retain it’s community.
