The Hunt Begins

About

The Hunt Begins is a co-op multiplayer game where one player becomes a ghost while others team up to hunt and banish it. On PC, groups of two to four take turns playing as either paranormal investigators or the supernatural entity. Hunters use tools to track down a ghost’s hiding place while avoiding its attacks. The ghost player defends its haunt by using environmental tricks and direct confrontations to stop the team from completing their mission. The game shines in its asymmetrical gameplay where roles shift between stealth and survival. Community testing showed high replay value from swapping sides and adapting strategies. Launching December 2024, it leans into social play with clear communication and quick matches. Players praise the balance between horror elements and accessibility, making it a tense pick for small groups looking for something spooky but not overly complex.
