This is an asymmetrical game of hide and seek. In true form to IllFonic’s past titles, this title is a 4v1 setup where players will either play as part of a team of new Ghostbusters or a singular Ghost.

In 4v1 matches, four players become rookie Ghostbusters trying to capture a haunting spirit, while a fifth player controls the ghost and attempts to take over the location. You can also play solo or with bot-assisted teammates.
As a Ghostbuster, scan for paranormal activity, calm frightened civilians, use a proton stream to pull the ghost toward a trap, and close its rifts. The ghost can scare people, possess objects, and use abilities to evade the team.
Choose missions from the Firehouse hub, where you can customize characters and equipment and practice with your gear. Progression unlocks cosmetics and upgrades for both Ghostbusters and ghosts; the Ecto Edition includes the 2023 DLC drops.
In this sample, players often enjoy teaming up with friends and switching between the Ghostbusters and ghost roles, which give matches contrasting objectives and tactics. Reviewers also praise the franchise atmosphere and character customization. Some describe the missions as repetitive or report trouble with bots, online access, and performance.
