If you're a night owl looking for a good scare after hours, a new ghost-hunting challenger is on the horizon to test your nerves against the reigning champion.
The short version
While Phasmophobia is the established king of co-op ghost hunting, the upcoming, unreleased Give Us A Sign is shaping up as a fresh alternative for night owls looking to hunt spirits once the house goes quiet.

When the kids are asleep and the house goes dead silent, there is nothing quite like hunting imaginary ghosts to unwind. While Phasmophobia remains the reigning co-op champion of late-night terrors, the upcoming, unreleased Give Us A Sign is preparing to challenge its formula with its own spin on paranormal investigation.
Seriously, there is a very specific type of magic to playing these games in the dark when you’re supposed to be asleep. Phasmophobia has spent years perfecting that high-tension loop of screaming into a walkie-talkie while a wraith hunts you down in a suburban kitchen. However, according to development updates, Give Us A Sign is still currently unreleased, meaning players will have to wait a bit longer to see exactly how its haunted halls compare to our current favorite.
If you love psychological tension, you might also be keeping an eye on what's next for Frictional Games' psychological horror title ONTOS, but for pure co-op ghost-hunting, the focus remains on how these two titles diverge. While Phasmophobia relies heavily on an established sandbox of high-tech gear and evidence-journaling, Give Us A Sign aims to bring its own fresh approach to the genre when it finally launches.
The details
For now, we'll keep keeping our flashlights close and our sanity meters high in the lobbies we already know. But the moment those new haunted doors open, you know exactly where to find us.
Are you ready to swap Phasmophobia for a new ghost-hunting gig?
