This is an asymmetrical game of hide and seek. In true form to IllFonic’s past titles, this title is a 4v1 setup where players will either play as part of a team of new Ghostbusters or a singular Ghost.

Of the 417 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 124 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 184 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It's like a trip back to better times, where we could just hang out and enjoy the moment, and wear unlicensed particle accelerators on our backs without worrying about The Man putting a stop to all the fun.
The game still has a player base, and the multiplayer is fairly fun. While being respectful of the source material. You get to feel like a ghostbuster, and isn't that what a lot of us wanted to be when we were kids. In other words it feels really good.
wayy better than expected and loving seeing and being poc in game also i feel this game should be talked about more
