Is THIS BETTER Than PHASMOPHOBIA? | Ghost Hunters Corp (First Impression)



First time I am playing the first Phasmophobia clone called Ghost Hunters Corp. I have hundreds of hours in Phasmophobia so I am excited to see how this game compares to it. Ghost Hunters Corp is a Co-op ghost hunting game that wants to focus on Investigation and Excorcisms. It is available on Steam for around 15 Euros.

  1. Marie statues getting used — grayed out, means its a child ghost or a revenant. So it cant be a shadow, daemon, nor polter. Since you start with only one marie statue you now have NO protection if you have not bought more

  2. I think the developer got frustrated with all the clone comments so here's their quote taken from the steam discussion board: Quoted from the developer of this game – "This game is written on the subject of ghost hunting and therefore of course it looks like Phasmophabia on certain points. We retrieve basic ghost hunting gear that you can see in any ghost hunter show on Youtube and gear directly inspired from the movie. I don't want to make a game like Phasmophabia or copy it at all. Ghost Hunters corp is directly inspired by Ghostbusters / Super Natural / Youtube ghost hunting video."

  3. I like this, it addresses a lot of problems I had with phasmo. Ghosts not being very scary, needing specific equipment instead of being able to play with everything, ghost can only kill you inside and during a hunt, and not being able to exorcise the ghost. The suspense is great too, the feeling of always being in danger, instead of the ghosts just flicking the lights on and off and giving you a few second head start to hide. Once the devs polish this off a bit more I'd play this with my friends.

  4. I think it's fucked up they released a game for nearly $20 knowing damn well it was not ready. If they needed money ASAP to continue making the game they should have booted up a GoFundMe or Patreon. Plus their discord is a hot mess and it makes me really skeptical of what's going on with the dev.. I do hope people enjoy the game when it's fixed though, never enough ghost hunting games out there

  5. I think you let your experience in phasmophobia color your expectations a little to much, but habits are hard to break, and its still a good video! I'll be giving this game a go.

  6. Speaking of taking inspiration from other media. Has the Phasmophobia team talked about being influenced by The Conjuring? Watched the first in the film series and it had a lot of similar tools and methods.

  7. I think the concept of the game is ok but being used to phasmo atmospheric appearance and game style and rather tricky slow game pacing which I think is way more nerve racking by the way is alot more interesting than this game. This ghost hunters Corp, re-playable concept I think dries out very fast even thought it's concept appears significantly more complex and the goals are different. The problem I have with this game is you find the info you need way too fast which for the amount of items their are in the game combined with the very aggro behavior of the ghost, there's no suspense and turns repetitive quickly. It's either you die easy because the ghosts presences is at such a peaking interaction to try to kill you along with the pacing being really fast, or you exercise the ghost and do multiple of the same thing really often , overall equals out to being twice as repetitive despite complexity. The atmosphere really needs a different look towards scary. I'm not saying it's a bad game but phasmo just in looks and jump scares alone is just more preferred for a scary game. If phasmophobia had the mechanics this game has with the same slow pace it already has, it would drawn out the game quite a bit but phasmophobia is built around suspense and the ghost are significantly more unique in comparison but again with all the items of ghost hunters Corp being put into phasmo would make team games really more interesting. Take what phasmo has (ghost types) and put it into this game with the same fast pace. You'll die faster. Phasmo ghosts don't fuck around 🤣

  8. Also there could be writing and drawing somewhere in the walls, i dont think its official but i thinks the sound u hear like a turnin page is that the ghost wrote somewhere, some times the wall interactiom is invisible and u need the photo camara to c it

  9. You did have an instant camera. It's next to the holy water/salt/incense stick. It's on the left side of them. It's a big white camera. The exorcism book is a bit finicky. You should only have to do it once. If it doesn't work or you stop mid-way, a way it seems to help or "reset" is close the book and open it again. We think it resets the voice capture when you do that.

    The info provided in the game about some items or evidence types is kind of lacking. I wonder if this is done on purpose? But can be quite frustrating for new people.

    Spirit Box comes in 3 different types. Spirit Box EVP, which is exactly what you got, and guessed correctly. You'll hear a voice or something similar come out of the spirit box. Spirit Box Radio quite literally has you hearing something like a radio station with music and stuff from the ghost through the spirit box. Last is voice in the house, you'll hear the ghost speak or laugh or something when you ask it stuff with the spirit box, but it'll sound like the noise is coming from the house, not through the spirit box.

    You also guessed child ghost correct, but you will see at about 59:30, you were looking at the different exorcism combos with ghost types, you left it on revenant before closing the ghostpedia application.

    I really enjoy this game and have been enjoying youtubers figure out this game! I hope you continue giving this game a try and eventually master it! I find it quite fun myself, but it definitely needs a lot of work and polish! Can't wait for VR too.

  10. The evidence gives you money/credits the more you get evidence of (they mark green on the white board at the back of the van). I think they're supposed to help you identify the ghost too.

  11. It's different from Phasmophobia. Naturally there are similarities, but they shouldn't be compared too much. They're both their own thing and can co-exist just fine. "Better" is purely subjective, a personal preference. Not an argument worth having.

  12. I find it funny who you and insym watch watch others games. I’m annoyed when insym says phantoms (? I may have the wrong ghost) don’t have a special power to teleport to your location and start a hunt when you have examples of when that’s happened to you. You both are amazing, but not many channels can beat a talking potato
