31 Days Of Halloween – Phasmophobia

Day 15 on our list of 31 Horror video games hosts one of my personal co-op online horror titles. That title is Phasmophobia, developed and published by Kinetic Games and available on Steam. It was originally released last year, however this year it seems to have only grown in popularity. I am all about that van life! It's way safer! So what is Phasmophobia?
