HorrorCo-opMystery

Four ghost hunters identify what haunts the house using EMF readers, spirit boxes and their own failing nerve - the ghost hears your real voice, and hides-and-hunts accordingly. The game that invented the co-op ghost-hunting genre, still its gold standard in early access.

Sort by:

Demonologist

HorrorCo-opMystery

Public similarity

Why it's similar: Carrying equipment into cursed locations, you talk to ghosts via voice and observe environmental reactions to gather clues, then identify the evil spirit type and perform an exorcism ritual.
Choose it when: Prefer to follow explicit ritual steps in a visually richer game, accepting less reliance on diverse evidence tools and more on voice interaction and environmental observation.
But: Demonologist uses Unreal Engine 5 for more detailed graphics, and exorcism involves explicit ritual steps rather than only evidence-based deduction; the safe house upgrade and pet system add a meta progression driven by money.

DEVOUR

HorrorCo-op

Public similarity

Why it's similar: Working with your team to find key ritual items, you defend with UV flashlights while evading possessed cultists, and complete a binding ritual under escalating time pressure.
Choose it when: Seeking a fast-paced chase focused on executing a specific ritual rather than prolonged evidence gathering, and accepting higher execution demands.
But: DEVOUR's themed maps each feature a specific manifestation of Azazel, new environments, items, and rituals; players earn experience to increase Cult Rank and unlock perks, with randomized item spawns and enemy AI for replayability.

R.E.P.O.

HorrorCo-opChaotic

Public similarity

Why it's similar: Cooperating with multiple players, you use a physics-based grabbing tool to carefully transport fragile objects while staying quiet to avoid alerting monsters, and extract safely.
Choose it when: Ready to prioritize teamwork in hauling and physics-based interactions, giving up ghost type identification and complex evidence chains, and prefer immediate action responses.
But: R.E.P.O. shifts focus from evidence gathering to physical transport and teamwork, with objects and monsters affected by Newtonian physics; money earned is spent on upgrades and weapons, and it supports up to 6 players.

Lethal Company

Co-opHorrorSurvival

Public similarity

Why it's similar: Exploring abandoned moons with teammates, you collect scrap and scan creatures for a bestiary, manage nighttime dangers, and meet profit quotas while deciding when to extract.
Choose it when: Prefer exploring larger maps and quota pressure over single-building event decisions, and accept risking low-income rounds for potentially higher rewards.
But: Lethal Company centers on meeting the Company's profit quota, exploring outdoor and industrial ruins; cash buys suits and ship decorations, with randomized items and creatures, and one player can guide from the ship using radar and terminal.

The Mortuary Assistant

HorrorAtmospheric

Public similarity

Why it's similar: Alone in a mortuary, you perform embalming tasks while observing anomalies in corpses and environment, using occult rituals to identify demonic entities and piece together clues to banish them.
Choose it when: Prefer solo play without co-op, focusing on detailed tasks and narrative investigation, and accepting a slower pace within a single location.
But: The Mortuary Assistant is strictly single-player, featuring detailed embalming procedures and a multi-layered story that unfolds over multiple playthroughs, with demon entities and events changing each run.
