Phasmophobia

AdventureUpdated: July 27, 2026

Phasmophobia is a browser horror about ghost hunting that stands out among other adventures due to its evidence collection mechanic. Unlike typical jump-scare games, you need to investigate a location by selecting specific gear from your inventory. The key feature is the sanity level system, which indicates how close the ghost is to attacking.

The gameplay revolves around an investigation loop: you enter the building, grab an EMF reader, camera, and other tools to find proof of the paranormal entity. Mouse controls let you examine rooms and interact with objects like light switches or bookshelves. Every turn, you decide whether to push deeper into the house or retreat toward the exit if sanity drops too low. The goal is to gather a specific set of evidence to identify the ghost type and escape safely before the entity becomes too aggressive.

This game is for fans of atmospheric detective stories and those who want to test their nerves in single-player mode. Luddites and hardcore puzzle fans might be disappointed, as reaction time and attention to sound matter more than logic chains.

Tip: do not run through the house blindly in the first minute — immediately find a safe zone near the exit and check if your flashlight works.

How to Play

Select your ghost-hunting equipment and investigate haunted locations to gather evidence about the paranormal entity. Work with your team to identify the ghost type, complete objectives, and safely escape before the ghost becomes too aggressive.
