This game is fantastic but it comes with a big "When the stars align" caveat.

You need friends to play with.
You need a working microphone.
You need a good internet connection.
You need the server side stuff to not break.

The last point is the biggest. This was a project by a single dev that blew up almost overnight. When my wife and I logged onto play today the population for U.S. servers alone was in the 50k zone. The game is struggling to deal with the massive influx, plus there's modders that are overloading some servers by allowing 10+ players in a 4 player game. The other downside is it's still early access. There's a lot of jank, the animations are awful, and the controls take a good hour to get the hang of (placing a camera is pain for a while).

But when the stars align, the game is incredibly good fun. You're a bunch of investigators trying to find out what kind of ghost you're dealing with so the exorcists can do their job properly later. There's something like 15 ghost types, and each one acts differently. Shades are really shy and will barely act out if you're with other people. Demons will tear out throats faster than you can run out of the house. You have to use a plethora of equipment to figure out where the ghost is and what kind it is, as well as a handful of bonus objectives that change each round. The better you do, the more money you get, which can be spent on more equipment.

The developer has a fantastic idea that is executed near perfectly, and the game can only get better from here.
