Ghost looks unreal and the game is boring.

Please, make the game more scarier!!! Something like the game Devour.

The game looks nice but its realy boring.

[ElvenDeity]

devour isnt really scary tho. i find phasmo scarier if anything. I do think we need more ghosts, ghost events, etc to add to the whole experience, but thats something they may have already considered and may already be working on. who knows

Devour is not scary at all, it's much easier than this game. And yes, ghosts look "unreal" because ghosts are *not* real. What exactly is the issue with the ghosts lol?

I don't think it is boring. I think it is just different, and requires to have a taste for it.

Most horror games follow a pretty simple formula of being followed by a spook while you're trying to do simple things, like collecting notes, or just linearly moving through the level.
In phasmo, nothing is out to spook you every 0.5 seconds, and I think it is exactly what makes it "boring" to you, and what I think makes it different.

In this game, spook is not out to get you. It is you who is annoying it, so you can do your job.
Ability to run away from a spook and have a safe haven somewhere on the map while not being completely useless is what gives the needed respite for newcomers, and horror genre newcomers. Current level of spooks, and ability to control how much you put yourself through is what makes it sweet, and I don't think Phasmo needs more. Once again - it is just a different type of game.

I think with this trello entry they are looking to make it scarier
https://trello.com/c/CFHF7kKS/2549-horror-20

and from the Dev Q&A

Will you add more personality to the ghosts?
Yes! We want to make each ghost scarier in their own way, we have plans to add “themed horror” to make each encounter different from the last. Each ghost could have it’s own set of “scares” and have it’s own kill animation / death room to match.
(this only refers to the visuals, not the ghost type you're searching for)

So with these two things I think once they have added them and now that there is an artist we will see a bump in better looking models.

Or maybe it's just not for you? Who asks a dev to completely change a game cause THEY want it to be like a different game? GO PLAY DEVOUR.

[Funkyphobia]

Yeah, if this game is boring to you, go back to playing Devour.

I think we should just start regurgitating "you think YOU can do better, then?" responses to entitled little kids like this.

I think I found it boring at the start because I didn't know what I was doing. I feel this is the same for most things. Once you understand the game it's a lot of fun. be patient with it, watch a couple youtube tutorials and I'm sure you'll love it!

The point of this game isn't to be scary, it's to find ghosts, and devour isn't scary at all.

i wish ghost can move an object to block for a kill such as door ,chair,couch or just scare us like a ghost movie depends on ghost type
davour ghost cutscene is very loud and shocking, i wish they made more cutscene rather than this one is so boring

[Mayk]

devour was a game that tried to scare the player with loud ass jumpscare and this is not scary

if you want to scare the player the right way, you need to use the atmosphere and sounds and phasmophobia takes more care to do it

if what you want is a jumpscare game like devour, then look for other horror games you won't get what you want

There are 2 types of ghost lore. The "old tales and superstitions" one, and "movie" one.

Movie ghosts are overexaggerated, overpowered, buffed with titan powers to manipulate landmasses and swap universes.

Old ghosts are usually known to be "dead man's slipping grip on reality", being nothing more but an apparition, existing because of its last, the most powerful emotion, or memory. They are barely able to interact with the real world, but can cause people to hallucinate and die of scare(that is why they destroy person's sanity first, just to be able to harm him).

Giving ghosts an ability to physically move stuff bigger than a beer can basically turns old ghosts into movie ghosts.
Even though movie ghosts are "stronger", the power they possess, and lack of details about the limits of those powers works against scare factor.

what planet are you living on, this game is the best scary game i've ever played, and i'm literately terrified to play it on my own.
