Phantom Hysteria

Phantom Hysteria is an online co-op ghost hunting game for 1–4 players. You take contracts as one of four playable P.I.N.E. characters, investigate a location to identify its phantom, untether it from this world and then fight to banish it.

Investigate the phantom

You use equipment such as an EMF detector, temperature gun and phantom book to identify the ghost type at the contracted location. The game offers a variety of maps to investigate, and the phantom you encounter can be one of several types.

Untether and neutralize

Once you know the phantom’s type, you search for totems, runes or statues to loosen its grip on this world. This makes it corporeal, but it fights back as you try to neutralize it. You can choose weapons ranging from an EMFG rifle to a water gun filled with holy water to banish the phantom.

Classes and perks

You can choose and level up four P.I.N.E. classes, each designed for a different play style, including support and tank roles. Before each game, you can switch between purchasable Arcana Cards of varying rarities, from common to unique. These perks can affect stamina, health, weapons and more, and can sometimes be integral to the hunt.

The phantoms

The phantoms include Morrigan Payne, a powerful witch who was unshackled by death. She was born Bronwyn Craddock, a kind faith healer murdered alongside her people by witch hunters.

Molly Adkins was a teenager in the early 1970s who was meant to go to a movie theater with her cousin. She became a victim of drunk driving and now wanders the earth in fear and denial, battered, broken and drowned.

Lucas Jones was a New Orleans gangster and a made man in the Mahoney crime family. As his standing in the family rose, its don stopped his ascent by pouring molten gold down his throat.

Leaderboards

Live leaderboards let P.I.N.E. agents compare their results, with prizes awaiting those who reach the top.
