Obsideo (v2022.01.16)

A quiet house becomes a hostile crime scene in this psychological horror investigation built around reading a ghost’s behavior rather than simply ticking off evidence. Playing as priests, one or two investigators enter haunted properties, identify the entity tormenting them, and perform the right exorcism before its escalating activity turns the hunt into a panic. The mood lands closer to a tense paranormal procedural than a shooter, with creaking rooms, unnatural sounds, and sudden violent manifestations keeping every visit uneasy. Online co-op lets a partner share the workload and, more importantly, share the blame when somebody provokes the spirit.

Each case revolves around searching rooms with familiar paranormal tools including EMF readers, thermometers, spirit boxes, Geiger counters, and RemPods. Readings matter, but Obsideo asks players to pay closer attention to context: where an apparition appears, how it moves through a house, what objects it disturbs, and whether its behavior grows calculated or aggressive. The Ghostpedia helps connect those observations to a specific haunting, while every interaction affects the method required to remove the entity. Speaking through a microphone is central to the tension, since ghosts hear players and respond to spoken intent instead of acting as passive scripted attractions.

More than 55 reported interaction types give investigations a broad range, from nearly invisible movements and distant breathing to collapsing walls and grotesque blood-soaked events. Its ghost AI also uses each location’s layout against the team, attempting to corner investigators in dead ends or deny them safe hiding places when a situation turns dangerous. Real-world-scale homes and grounded ambient audio give the game a more believable setting than the usual exaggerated haunted mansion, while the emphasis on visual and environmental deduction makes repeat runs less predictable. Fans of Phasmophobia-style co-op ghost hunting who want deeper exorcism procedures, voice interaction, and more active supernatural threats should find Obsideo especially appealing; patient observers will fare better than players looking for constant action.
