Ghost Exile is a challenging first-person co-op horror game released in 2022, developed and published by LostOneTeam, available for $14.99 and playable on Steam Deck. Players investigate dynamic ghost behavior using evidence-based mechanics, where gathering proof amplifies difficulty, and each spirit possesses unique and unpredictable abilities. Haunted objects can curse investigators, while exorcism is performed through microphone-based rituals and the drawing of protective seals, allowing players to actually banish ghosts rather than merely identifying them. Reviewers highlight the deep investigation and background research required for each ghost type, noting the microphone exorcism feels terrifyingly real, and players describe the experience as atmospheric, tense, and immersive. The game receives regular updates that introduce new content and mechanics, with an 87% positive rating from 1066 Steam reviews.

About Ghost Exile: Ghost Exile - is a cooperative horror from 1 to 4 players: when hunting for ghosts, you need to determine the type of ghost, carry out a ritual of exorcism and then the ghost can no longer harm anyone. Be careful! Hasty conclusions can lead you to a sad outcome.
