Worth buying in 2023?

I know next to nothing about this game. I hear it's like a co-op horror thing. Is it worth jumping into all these years later? Or is it like DBD where no one has fun anymore and they just play to get angry.

Definitely recommend. It's no jumpscare horror indie game. Check out a YouTube vid from guys like Insym or Psycho to get a taste. Get in the spooky season spirit!

I've played a lot but I like to jump into random public lobbies. There are still a ton of new players and the game itself is in the best state it's been since launch.
There are still problems with the game and it lacks polish like a lot of small studio games but it's easily the best of its genre.

Nothing like DbD since this isn't a pvp game at all, and there's no crappy gens to do.

This is a solo/co-op game. You can go in on your own, with a friend(s) or with up to 3 randoms in public lobbies. You jump into a map, try and find the room the ghost is in and then try find out what it is along with doing side objectives and trying not to get killed. There's multiple difficulties to choose from as well. The game has good replay value, I'd easily say give it a shot.

Unlike PvP games, there's no real downside in joining Coop/Singleplayer games late (given that there are still players for coop games and you'll find plenty here).

So worth it, love this game! The devs are great, the streamers like Insym are great to watch, community is fun. I have yet to run into toxic people while in lobbies.

I can't think of any games in this price range that are better, if you have friends (4 player co-op) it's great, if you play solo it's (for the most part) balanced so you'll have fun with it. There are also public lobbies which like any online game is a mixed bag of how your gameplay experience will go. Overall though, definitely worth buying it now because the game has only improved since release.

Absolutely worth it.

I'll try it! It sounds like the community is actually pretty chill. Thanks guys.

Don't believe what you read the devs are liars, the game is broken AF, and the fan base is brainwashed to make others believe the game is worth it. Never judge a book by its cover.

Not worth buying at all, the devs have tanked the game and currently it only has player numbers because of bots. Early game is unplayable if you don't have someone adding in the gear or just someone who got lucky once. Challenge mode doesn't work anymore, ghosts don't react anymore to most of the materials. Its honestly a joke that steam hasn't just banned the game. The game page listed 13000 players online but in the lobby it only shows about 300 players. So somewhere the devs have a bunch of fake accounts running in the background.

If I could get my money back I would.

Me when I blatantly lie on the internet.

Cmon. You can dislike a game, but you don’t need to express that through lying out of your backside for an entire paragraph.

Was that what passed for a meaningful response to you? Because if it was, you're better off just not responding at all.

[BRING PARTY STREAMERS]

the game is not worth playing anymore! it was once fun but now is boring and frustrating.

Eh I thought it was given the drivel I was responding to. It’s more passable than your statements about the game both here and in your review at least. Most of them are straight up lies or baseless accusations against the devs.

Yeah all that matters is what your own opinion of the game is... although some might force theirs upon you and try to paint this in as negative... or positive... light as possible.

Point is though - never know until you try... just be sure to use LFG if you intend to play with randoms, like someone said... it's definitely a mixed bag experience which can leave a bad taste in ones mouth.
