Ghostfearia

As the name might suggest, this was a parody of Phasmophobia I created for a friend. In the video game Phasmophobia you have to search a haunted house for clues to find out which type of ghost it contains. In my real life parody my whole apartment served as the haunted house.

I recreated the standard equipment and the seven cursed possessions that my friend could use to gather evidence. Of course the majority of those were not functional and I could also only fake the presence of a ghost by planting evidence. Overall it was less about finding the right clues and more about recreating the same atmosphere as in the game by letting my friend execute the same tasks as in the game.

To make the feeling even more authentic, I hid speakers in different corners of my apartment to play randomized ghost sounds every now and then and I programmed a tiny application constantly showing the player’s sanity, as this is part of the original game, too.
