So this is just pvp phasmo DO NOT PLAY THIS IF YOU WANT A SERIOUS GAME This is very mutch a game to play drunk with freinds and BS But if you and a bunch of freinds want to drink and have fun this is a great game. I hope the devs don't abandon the game, and even if it is a shit post, it is funny. Some feed back for the decs if they read this 1-make it so the ghost can't go outside and hunt 2-there are typos and some discriptions are just ripped from phasmo and are just wrong 3 the Ui needs some love 4 any kind of tutoral would be great or at least some guide would make it so much

Its Phas but now you get to kill your friends! Each update keeps me playing for at least 2 hrs at a time. Yes it's still in Beta (and it shows), but the developer is working on it constantly, giving frequent updates, and listens to the community in their discord. While I wouldn't call it a great game yet, it has a lot of potential and passion behind it.

WE were asked if we wanted early release with bugs for testing or wait till its a little more polished. we all chose now. the fact people are complaining about a early access game with a single indi dev is wild. for what it is now is a good concept when it the issues that are known get fixed it will be amazing, give it time. would recomend

The Dev himself told everyone that it was going to be bugging before he released it. He even said it was nowhere near being finished. That being said, it was really fun, and the bugs were understandable for it having just been released.

HONEST REVIEW SEVERANCE is the future model for investigative horror games Use a variety of some of your favorite tools and equipment + some different ones I have yet to experience; Locate the ghost room, find the evidence, and escape (with an added twist) from a PLAYER controlled ghost. The game play is as refreshing as other big name titles in the same genre. So you'll find a lot of those elements here. (AND MORE TO COME WITH EACH UPDATE!) For me, the jump scares are outstanding, the hunts are fun, and especially from the ghost's perspective it becomes really engaging. Buyers keep this in mind: The game is in VERY VERY VERY early access, and this is just a taste of what the game has to offer. You will find a decent amount of bugs as the game is in it's early stages; but fear not! The solo developer Sykes has been working tirelessly to make this game happen. Consistent updates are announced to the players, all FAQS are being answered, all player input is being taken into heavy consideration; and all other communication regarding the game is clear, quick, and exactly what you'd expect from a dev that cares about their product. SEVERANCE has the absolute potential to be the next biggest investigative horror game. If you're in the market for a game of this style, I'd strongly recommend joining the official discord which can be found on the store page for SEVERANCE (in the bottom right corner) For the price it is, the amount of heart the dev has for his game and it's players; and the absolute room for growth, I would definitely recommend SEVERANCE. 10/10
