Early Access Review
I was one of the peeps with Phasmophobia quality high hopes for this game and they were dashed splendidly.

The game literally takes you and tosses you in a building with OODLES of mostly useless tools and says "Have fun, I need to go buy milk from the store!" Then never returns...

There really isn't a tutorial, just a training center with a ghost mannequin and a bunch of tools that have cut and paste descriptions... "Make your own fun, little Johnny!" I had no luck figuring out how to hold a tool and a flashlight, even though in the previews it IS shown. I guess I didn't do the tutori-...oh wait...

Afterwards, you can go to a haunted house and try to collect ectoplasm. ( I sadly cannot remember the other game modes, by this time I was already feeling my hopes getting skished...)

Again, with the being tossed into a truck with a bunch of tools, most of them useless. I wandered my arse around for quite a LONG time with no incidents, no scares, nothing but a walking simulator. Of course there are spooky ambient noises but they are out of place, rendering them more distracting in a negative fashion, not in a "ooooo sooo spooky' one. Knives being sharpened when you're walking through a bedroom, doors creaking when you're in a doorless room.

When I was finally tired of the walking simulator and already planning on requesting a refund, I finally got nabbed by a ghost and dragged AWAY!!! (so exciting!...naw, sorry)....to another room in the house...no ghost nearby to try to use one of the numerous tools for shooing away a ghost, again....walking simulator. Made my way from the house and directly to the refund page.

As so many others have already said, just play Phasmophobia. Get a positive ghost hunting experience with real scare factors. Not this watered down, over complicated (by WAY too many useless tools) and sadly uninteresting facsimile of Phasmophobia.
