About the game
You enter a haunted site as cult members trying to stop a demonic possession. Keys open new rooms, and ritual items let you carry out a banishment. The creature chasing you grows faster and angrier as you make progress. Your UV flashlight gives you a brief defence, but it cannot make the building safe. Each map changes the setting and the ritual you need to finish.
Up to four players search online together. You share the work of finding supplies, completing the ritual and rescuing friends who have been dragged away. Calls for help can turn a careful search into a scramble across the map. You repeat attempts with changing item locations and earn experience toward perks. It suits a group that enjoys learning under pressure and laughing at each other’s frightened reactions.

Kind of game
A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
