Ok, so.. Been waiting for this game to come out because me and my friends are big Phasmophobia fans. We were planning to play it with 4 man co-op, but me and another friend decided to go see how it works. It did not go well. During the 53 minutes that I kept trying I didn't even get to play the game properly. My friend played it for maybe 4 hours and would've probably refunded it if he could.

First of all. I don't think the co-op even works. Tried both Local co-op (with help of Hamachi) and Steam co-op and all it did was spawn my friend as "Rookie" on the board and his character is vibrating in the floor of the van and he could not see me at all. Also regardless who is the lobby leader, he was the only one who could start the van. If I touched any of the items in the van they would disappear for him. I would not see him moving anywhere or opening doors and eventually he would get launched out of the map into nothingness and I would be stuck there not being able to leave the game except by exiting the whole program. I could see him holding items in his hand and using them, but his character would never leave the van for me and just spaz out inside the floor.

I watched him play the game on singleplayer through Discord share screen and it just seemed very buggy and unpolished in general, not to mention the insane loading times for his computer. My computer runs it fine.

Overall I wouldn't recommend this game at this state. If you can look past the flaws I guess it can be playable as singleplayer, but I can almost gurantee it will be frustrating.

I might be coming back to the game when it's properly optimized and actually playable.
