In 2020, you may have had the opportunity to discover Phasmophobia. In a while, you will be able to discover its very promising competitor, who wants to please streamers.
Released in 2020, Phasmophobia made a lot of noise, especially for an indie horror game. As a reminder, he offers to play ghost hunters and investigate haunted places, alone but especially in cooperation. This is what makes it successful, that and its immersive game mechanics such as being able to communicate with the spirits directly using the in-game voice chat. The entities react and can surprise us at any time. Even today, the Phasmophobia recipe is having an effect and clones are quickly being released here and there, like every time a game creates a sensation on Steam.
Already better than Phasmophobia?
The phenomenal success of Phasmophobia has therefore encouraged many independent studios and developers to begin creating similar experiences. Among them, a few titles manage to stand out, including Ghost Bros, a shy little one which is slowly starting to get noticed. The reason ? Very beautiful promises and great ambitions. In this app, we will play as a team of ghost hunters (1 to 4 players) responsible for “visit haunted places, assess the paranormal and bring peace to restless minds”. The originality is that you will then have to disseminate your discoveries on the internet and grow your audience. The developer already has the desire to push his concept to the limit and try to integrate Twitch, so that streamers can really use their communities. For the moment, we don’t yet know how.
The game is popular and has already found its audience. In just 24 hours, Will and Emily, the two creators behind Ghost Bros, managed to raise more than 7,000 euros. All the bearings were pulverized, which surprised everyone. “We are thrilled and very grateful for the support and confidence you have in seeing this game evolve into what it will be”, said Emily on Kickstarter. This new title therefore has everything to succeed, even if there is still a small amount to find to perfect the final details. There is still a lot to do and several ideas to implement, but seven levels would already be playable. For the moment, no release date has been given for Ghost Bros, but a beta should be available this year.
