As for the confusion over "freezing," seems like Abby was getting temperatures in Celsius, and Vinny in Fahrenheit, which is odd. I'm Canadian, so I notice these things, but it's understandable an American might not.

I would love to see more of this as a non 6 Crazy Frights play date if more of the crew are interested in playing with the way they originally designed the communication features.

This seems like it has something to it compared to the “wander around waiting for jump scares” that most spooky games end up being.

Co-op was the best direction for this video series.

Ah!! Abby's thermometer was set to C instead of F like Vinny's so they guessed the last ghost wrong. Really fun episode, at least you just drove away and didn't crash a mars orbiter!

I have enjoyed the whole series but the last couple episodes might be the best ones yet. Co-op is great for it. Abby and Vinny work so well off each other in this horror setting.

It would maybe be more fun to watch once they know the systems of the game, as well as the controls, a bit more. Interesting game. Would like to see them return to it again with a bigger crew. Get some of the GB West gang involved as well.

@lanechanger: There aren't enough "ghost hunting" video games, These dumb ghost hunting shows were always my guilty pleasure.

@magicalex84: There's a lot of ghost hunting shows, most of them feature big set dude bro's with goatee's and backwards caps being douchey and loud to ghosts.

featured with a lot of over-produced imagery and sound effects between shots and a lot of repeated scenes repeated and "coming up next" in the episode.

This was great, but I'd love to see them play using the in-game voice comms only.

@ybbaaabby:

I'll be honest. I didn't notice anything off with the framerate (then again, i don't get motion sickness); I just assumed he was jerking the mouse around since he was on m+k. That was my impression though.

3 Strikes, you're out! xD But seriously, not once did you check the the ghosts you just had/what evidence you missed. How can you improve if you're just repeating the same mistakes?

Kind of missed a huge part of the game by not using the in-game voice.

Still I like a good fright :)

Looks like the developer is based in the UK, so I'm guessing the game defaults to Celsius, but Vinny had a look through the menus beforehand and switched to Fahrenheit.

The start gave me flashbacks to early attempts at flirting at a teen disco.

"Elizabeth"

"How old are you?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"You do? How about your hot friend?"

These videos are hilarious and saving me from my anxiety ridden brain. I know it's not exactly a horror game, but I would love to see Abby/Vinny co-op play Hunt: Showdown. Maybe a Playdate?

Pulled the trigger and bought this. During the tutorial, I turned on all the lights around the house, went into a room in the corner, then all the lights turned off. I stood in the room for a minute and then noped back out to desktop.

If they were looking for Colin Robinson instead of Mark he would have shown up right away to chat. That fu-cking guy.

This game seems really cool except for the dumb horror game trope of flashlights that don't act like any real-world flashlight known to man. Flashlights for decades now have nice a nice big radius to their lens, not a tiny pinhole (unless it's a technical/repair light) and ambient light from a flashlight frequently lights up an entire room. I have a light on my keychain smaller than a cigarette capable of something like 80 lumens. Yeah, I get it, atmosphere, but it's not atmospheric it's just dumb. The game would still be interesting and scary even if you could actually see like a real person would be able to.

This seems like a missed opportunity for the ultimate bro Zak Bagans to make a quick buck on licensing. Then again that dude seems like the penultimate asshole.

I liked how the coop switched up the format.

This would make an amazing playdate yes. And like others say make sure to use the in-game chat and not discord, it adds a lot to the game, especially in situations where one person has to be alone and then there's a hunt where the radio won't work. Being able to just chat away on discord ruins it.

I'm not gonna say this game doesn't look scary, because I'm a giant wuss who will never play this, BUT in terms of frights per shite, this episode was pretty tame. That said, I absolutely love the co-op energy with Vinny. Based on the other comments it seems this game would be a whole lot more satisfying to play and watch with a better grasp on the mechanics so we can get more encounters and close-calls.

Having met Zak Baggins once, he's actually a pretty cool, down-to-earth guy and probably only an asshole to ghosts.

Also, I'm sure the show loooooooves to play up his aggro-bro persona because all "reality" TV is garbage like that. :b

The sequel to someone in the dark screaming and yelling Jareth we've all been looking for.
