Phasmophobia is a 4-player online psychological coop game where you and your team must investigate a ghost haunting. While using ghost-hunting equipment like EMF Readers and Spirit Boxes, players need to collect evidence to identify which ghost is haunting the area. Although there are 24 ghosts, finding Cursed Possessions can help give you an edge in making your case.
