Phasmaphobia, Indie Game that Exploded on the Market

Phasmophobia is definitely not a horror game title that is foreign to horror game lovers. An online co-op horror game up to 4 player.

This horror game developed by Kinetic Games has a unique game mechanism. In Phasmophobia, we as players must look for evidence of the existence of a ghost in a haunted house.

We can dividing tasks such as watching CCTV and / or checking the evidence.

Fun fact: Phasmophobia means fear of ghosts (not really a fun fact), read more Phasmophobia.

One of the things that makes Phasmophobia so scary is how the enemy can find out the player's activity. And the ghosts in this horror game are able to hear whatever we say via voice chat (~~Double-U T F~~).

This unique gameplay instantly makes Phasmophobia viral among streamers. This is also proven very well through its sales on Steam.

Beat sales of Cyberpunk 2077 and Among Us

Interestingly, this horror game managed to beat Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Baldur's Gate, and The Outer Worlds which also recently appeared on Steam.

The Phasmophobia popularity proves that indie game developers in the form of small teams are very capable of competing with other big game developers. Because most indie game developers are more creative than a large game development company (booooo).

This is certainly not the first time an indie game beat the Triple A Game to the heart of it.

Evidenced by the existence of other indie games such as Among Us which has been very viral until now and stay on the page of the top sellers Steam, Among Us is an indie game that was done by only four people.

What makes it even cooler is that Phasmophobia is rumored done by only one person developer, which is the same wonderful thing as the Stardew Valley and Minecraft.
