Ghost Exorcism Inc.

Ghost Exorcism Inc launched July 15, 2021, early access with StreamerHouse hitting 382 viewers as StudioGoupil's co-op horror entered the Phasmophobia-inspired ghost hunting wave. The game supported 1-6 player exorcisms across haunted locations like castles, mansions, and abandoned houses, using paranormal tools (EMF K2 detector, entity analyzer, threat detector, cameras) to identify ghosts before deploying exorcism equipment (neutrino-gun, holy water, incense). The proximity voice chat let players interact with entities—spirits listened and understood requests, punishing disrespect. Steam reviews settled at "Mostly Positive" (74% from 2,724 reviews) with estimated 200,000-500,000 owners, indicating solid niche success without viral breakthrough. The game clearly inspired by Phasmophobia's October 2020 explosion, adding exorcism mechanics and larger player counts as differentiation. StreamerHouse streaming in 2021 rode the ghost-hunting co-op wave when the genre was red-hot—Phasmophobia proved the formula worked, and dozens of developers rushed similar experiences to market. Ghost Exorcism Inc found its audience through competent execution and 6-player chaos, surviving where many clones died. Sometimes being a good version of an established formula is enough when the genre still has momentum.
