Demonologist is basically Phasmophobia’s evil twin. The game is simple: go into a haunted house, shout into your mic like an idiot, and watch as your friends immediately betray you by locking you inside with a demon because “it’s for the content.” I didn’t learn ghost-hunting skills. I learned which of my friends would sell me to Satan for $3.27 in in-game currency.

Run around with various objects saying "here ghosty ghosty" and laughing with friends until a hunt starts and then everyone screams and cries. Love it, highly recommend.

Among the many Phasmophobia clones, Demonologist stands out by carving out its own identity, specifically, as a scarier alternative. Compared to Phasmophobia, this game boasts better graphics and excels in creating an eerie atmosphere. One of its biggest strengths is its haunted house environments, filled with small details and Easter eggs that make each map feel immersive. Where Phasmophobia’s maps often resemble ordinary locations with the lights off, Demonologist feels like stepping into a full-fledged horror movie, complete with randomized jump scares that keep each playthrough feeling fresh. One of the game’s best features is its exorcism mechanic, which adds a more satisfying goal beyond simply identifying the ghost. Since exorcisms can only be performed after correctly guessing the ghost type, often when your sanity is already low, you have to decide whether to risk it for the extra reward or play it safe and leave. These exorcisms vary by map, making it fun to learn how to complete each one. However, Demonologist does have areas that need improvement. A major issue is persistent problems with microphone recognition. While this didn’t affect me too often, there were times when the game inexplicably stopped recognizing my mic. In a social, party-style game like this, proximity chat is crucial for immersion. Losing the ability to talk to the ghost, an important mechanic for gathering evidence, can be particularly frustrating. The hunting mechanics also have some flaws. Hiding from ghosts can feel inconsistent, as they sometimes spot you entering a hiding place when it seems like they shouldn’t. Additionally, surviving a hunt often boils down to simply using a protective item or waiting in a hiding spot for 30 seconds, which can get tedious. Worse, ghosts sometimes chain hunt, repeatedly locking the exit door and forcing you to scramble back to your hiding spot over and over. Another point of criticism is the game's approach to ghost behavior. In Phasmophobia, experienced players can identify ghosts based on unique traits and behaviors beyond just gathering evidence. While Demonologist does give ghosts some distinctive behaviors, they aren’t designed in a way that makes them reliably identifiable without traditional evidence. This limits progression, after playing for long enough and learning all the jump scares, the game starts to feel like a waiting game until new content drops. That said, the developers have done a solid job of adding updates so far. While Demonologist can be played solo, it truly shines when experienced with friends. Final Verdict: 7/10

Coming from Phasmo, a friend told me about this game and since it was on sale, I figured I would give it try. This game is a lot of fun and has a good bit of jump scares through out the hunt. More than Phasmo. I like the fact that you have actual steps in the game while you are performing your investigations. You must first ID the ghost before you can proceed to the the side objectives and before you exercise the ghost, you must complete the side objectives. But the exercising of the ghost is what I found to be a lot of fun. The game gives you various different things to do and figure out, just like a puzzle in order to successfully exercise the entity and get it done before the ghost calls you his snuggle buddy. In my honest opinion, I have had more fun in this game than I did playing Phasmo. Phasmo is still a great game for what it is, but I feel this game offers you more to do to completely finish everything. I went back and played a session of Phasmo after playing this while and I had fun, but all I wanted to do was go back to Demonologist. If you enjoyed playing Phasmo, I think you would really enjoy playing this one.
