I generally don’t enjoy horror games, but I find that Phasmophobia’s implementation of behaviors and abilities produces an enjoyable experience when on game modes that limit you to 0-2 pieces of evidence.
The fun comes not from just overcoming limitations, but from being able to piece together a decision tree and correctly deduce based on the inputs/outputs the ghost gives you.

I like how you are startled at the Poltersplosion and burn your smudge :3
this is a very well made video!
Another Logic Game is Demonologist.
It is called a Phasmo-like for a similar gameplay style, with the three pieces of evidence and ghost behavior deduction.
What made the game different?
– That game is tailored to the horror aspect of the genre.
– Jump scares and interactive Words are found in the lobby and on maps.
– The crucifixes are a proactive way to stop a hunt.
– The dead players are a secondhand way of finding evidence and items. (Very handy for distractions in a hunt. Because the dead can call the ghost towards them)
– The players can dress their hunters in the character customization menu.
This is a very good and very accurate introduction video to advanced Phasmo ! Well done !
This is how I try to explain phasmo when people ask me if I get scared when playing it.
this channel only having 94 subs is a crime
Most terrorizing game ever labeled as " not a horror game " ok ..
Nice video! Could use a spreadsheet that will sort of “order” the ghosts in terms of what’s going to be best to test for first. There’s some good sites I use, but I think in nightmare mode you could have a simple checklist that simply says “check for orbs”. Though this takes some of the “thinking” out of the game, it still means you’re going to have to be around longer to find what’s necessary.
Also a thing not mentioned (though maybe implied) is that often there’s a lot you can detect from when a ghost hunts. I’ve seen some YouTubers, level 20k, know more than half the time what ghost it is from a single hunt.
Yo, well done on explaining something so simply where others failed to do so lol
wait the dots on both walls look cool af
the mimic is the easiest ghost in the game cause it will ALWAYS give you one more evidence – which is ghost orbs.
Even with zero evidence it will still give you ghost orbs. Idk why you'd say its a pain?
This is exactly why my friends and I love this game
Great video and congrats on 100 subs! +1 from me
Very good, fast video that I will show people who don't immediately "get" the game.
I love this video
i learn more about the game by watching insym… so this video dont have a sense..
Amazing video! It really is rewarding when you start to see yourself getting better at the puzzle aspect of the game! 😊 Even after 1000 hours the jumpscares still get me 😂
I don't know who you are, youtube recommended this video. I would have been interested if it weren't for the overpowering, annoying music that drowns out you're talking so to me I was effectively watching the screen and hearing the music and I was not able to focus on what you are saying👍 bit of constructive critism. I came to the comments hoping this was already posted but everyone is just gaslighting you bro.
0:45 The Obake here had me hooked. I mean, I was already hooked, but now I'm extra hooked lmao
0:48 DAMN THATS THE BEST OBAKE EXAMPLE I'VE SEEN
It's Clue with Ghosts.
0:49 that’s an obake
It's a bit similar to FNAF in a way, insofar as to say they are horror-themed games that to a first time player are scary, but eventually boil down to strategy/logic games
Well correction for you on the evidence. At least for playing with all evidence given. Some share close to the same evidence with The Mimic and specifically in the case of Hantu it is precisely the same except The Mimic also has Spirit Box. So if you collect the evidence that points to Hantu and don't test the Spirit Box you very well could be rope a doped into the wrong ghost.
Nice explosion to end the video. 🙂
Great video; you hit the nail on the head for how I explain it to new players as well.
you jumpt for a polt XD
This was a great video, I highly enjoyed it. The editing was also fantastic. You have earned a subscription 🙂
Shy Onryo is a very common thing unfortunately, from my observation on Insanity early hunting ghosts are somewhat consistant, on Nightmare up to 3 minutes even Demons may decide not to hunt. Probably a bug leftover from Amateur/Intermediate setup period.
this is what happens in Insym's brain each time he plays phasmo
This is valid but ive never seen it has a logic game 😂
nice vid
Premature incense stick. Nice :p
Phasmo is absolutely a logic puzzle game with a little flair added, that's what makes it fun.
However, Nightmare is 2 evidence – Insanity is 1 evidence & no cursed possession
Great video, makes me see the game in a different light now and may lessen my fear. But please, lower the music volume!
A video essay on Phasmo, great start to my day
