Phasmophobia, the wildly popular ghost-hunting game, emerged from an unexpected origin: its lead developer, Daniel Knight, never intended to create a horror game. Instead, he aimed to design a social co-op puzzle game, where teamwork and problem-solving take center stage. This unique approach has not only redefined the horror genre but also captivated players with its blend of humor and genuine scares. Knight’s vision was to foster collaboration among players as they decipher clues and confront supernatural entities.
