Phasmophobia is king in the genre

I've noticed several attempts to oust it but unfortunately it doesn't look like it will be bettered any time soon

To say one game is worse than another game in another games forum is disgusting mentality.

Agreed, it's sad that people fall into that, as well as so much troll baiting and pointless time was. Such is the fate of internet simps

In any case, it's actually great that phasmophobia made such a debut that others started popping out, more horror games to try. It needs a lot of polishing this one, but it just came out and the focus on interactions give it a lot of potential

So here's hoping to see how it pans out =)

Phas can't even make their own ghost unique from one another lmao. You can't tell me the difference between a demon to a Hantu in that game.

They have a reason for that. Based on how Phasmophobia plays, you have to use evidence to deduce what the ghost is. If each one had unique types like this game, they'd immediately know what it was just from the first hunt. The mechanics in Phasmophobia aren't set to watching interactions and guessing what it is which reveals the true ghost type. Not to mention, if you haven't paid any attention to Phasmo's trello board, they JUST hired people a month ago to overhaul the entire engine unique instead of using the standard "I downloaded Unity and got these models to use". They just threw out an update a few days ago with all the equipment models upgrades. They edited some current ghost models until they get their own models finalized... Also if you can't tell a Demon from a Hantu in that game, you got problems XD Demons are super aggressive in Phas and will literally chain hunt with sanity as low as 70% where as most other ghosts hunt at or below 50%, excluding the Yokai, Mare, and Banshees.

How? the knockoffs aren't even really attempting to make their games good, they're just monetizing the lust for the genre. Obvious cashgrabs getting called out for being bad should be the norm, not a "disgusting mentality".

Too much garbage is allowed to float on this platform because of this false anti-gatekeeping mentality, which is why there's thousands of unity asset flips, 5 minute porn puzzle games, demo-length RPG maker wastes of time, etc.

If you're going to hop into a market, at least try to properly make a competing product. If the only thing they're doing is a 10th of what Phasmophobia is under the guise of "give us money so we can improve" then it's obvious you're not actually interested in proving, you just want a quick dip inside the money box.
