Our take on Friki
The strong focus on horror and investigation leaves less room for broader action or combat systems. Its procedural mission structure also places the emphasis on repeating the investigation format with changing stories rather than following one fixed campaign.
What is Friki?
Friki is an online co-op horror game about paranormal investigators examining supernatural deaths.
Teams investigate each case, discover notes about a ghost’s past, collect evidence of paranormal activity, and receive payment for their findings. Missions use procedural story generation, with different cases taking place across multiple locations. Supernatural events include objects moving without visible causes, doorways vanishing, and unexplained sounds. Players can pick up and reposition objects, throw them, and face ghosts that throw objects back. The game includes at least five ghost models, each associated with its own form of horror. Players can cooperate with friends or join other investigators while trying to survive the dangers encountered during each investigation.
