PROJECT UNKNOWN is a 1-4 online co-op horror game with unique playable characters and special abilities. Exorcise different ghosts, utilize a variety of tools, and immerse yourself in an experience full of horrifying visuals and complex mechanics.
Unlike similar ghost hunting games, Project Unknown challenges players to collaboratively locate and cleanse cursed objects to complete the exorcism. Each playable character, such as the "high roller tarotist" Eirene and the "quirky school teenager" Zay, wields unique abilities that synergize to overcome the game's challenges. Coordinating these powers is essential, as players must work together to navigate the dark, limited-light environments, identify cursed items with specialized tools, and fend off various supernatural phenomena.
Reviews consistently praise the game's "unforgivingly scary" and "genuinely spooky" atmosphere, which players attribute to the unpredictable ghost behaviors, startling jump scares, and the randomly generated environments. The sense of intensity and replayability is further enhanced by the varied selection of ghosts and curses, ensuring that no two encounters are exactly the same.
Players highlight the importance of teamwork, communication, and strategic use of character abilities in confronting the paranormal threats. The shared experience of overcoming the game's challenges together is a major draw, with reviewers describing "hilarious moments" and "fun and scary" sessions with friends.
