Phasmophobia

Phasmopobia is a cooperative horror game that places players in the shoes of a paranormal investigator sent to explore and uncover supernatural activity in various haunted locales. Setting out in teams of four, players will utilize various ghost-hunting tools as they explore homes, forests, schools, and asylums crawling with ghosts to collect evidence, a currency used to buy better tools to capture their targets. To succeed, players must manage their sanity gauge or risk being lost to madness, leaving their team to fend for themselves.
