It’s not Ghostbusters, you aren’t trying to excise anything, the objective is simply to go in, figure out what’s haunting the place, and leave. As a Steam horror connoisseur, it’s easily the best of the best, and this game became my friend group’s go-to multiplayer title for months.įor the unfamiliar, Phasmophobia is a 1-4 player ghost hunting game where you visit haunted locations in order to identify the other-worldly entities lurking there. Over 100 hours later, and I never realized at that time that it would turn into the internet sensation it became. In my constant hunt for more spooks with friends, I found Phas the night it launched and had maybe one or two reviews.

So, here it is, I present to you the best of Steam’s multiplayer horror titles. While the list is hardly comprehensive, I’m eager to share some of my favorite scares. They also aren’t a big ask when you’re a group of 2-4 folks looking for a new game to play, so instead of spending nearly $200 on a new triple-A game, we’re spending about the price of a theater ticket and entertaining a big group. Most of them are in early access, and they often don’t offer more than a few hours of laughs, but they’re always reasonably priced for a night of fun. That being said, I have a new weirdly specific genre I adore - multiplayer horror games Stream.Ĭonsole storefronts tend to have a tougher barrier of entry to navigate, so I don’t quite find these gems elsewhere, but I’m constantly scrolling through Steam to find multiplayer horror treasures. I’m sure I take twice as long to beat horror games as my peers, but I still dig them and snatch every new one up that I can. I was never really good at them, and while my older cousins would turn the lights off and close the door for maximum scares, I would turn every light in the house on and play with my dog in my lap. Early on in my childhood gaming days, I gravitated towards the scares found in Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Fatal Frame. Despite being too afraid to even play Tomb Raider by myself at night, I love horror games.
