We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op horror players who want to investigate and identify ghosts with friends
- Ghost-hunting fans who enjoy gathering evidence with paranormal equipment
- Groups interested in voice-based ghost interaction and shared investigation challenges
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a single-ghost case structure, since sessions can include several ghosts
- Players who prefer identical encounters each time, since ghosts can react to actions in the environment
- Players seeking a solo-focused experience rather than cooperative multiplayer
Our take on OverNight
Rather than centering each session on one haunting, the game can place several ghosts across different areas. Investigation also includes spoken interaction with ghosts alongside evidence gathering and rituals.
What is OverNight?
OverNight is a cooperative multiplayer ghost-hunting horror game where a session can include several ghosts across different areas.
Players investigate with 21 paranormal items, collect evidence, and identify one of 16 ghosts, each with distinct traits and evidence. Ghosts can respond to actions such as switching lights, closing doors, or throwing objects. Voice recognition lets players speak to ghosts and issue commands. Locations include houses, hotels, cabins, and cemeteries; challenges include the Clap-Clap game and Estes Method sessions. Players can choose among four difficulty settings, including Normal, Hard, and Practice. A Journal tracks ghost findings, challenges, and team status. Correct identifications award XP across 25 progression levels, and gameplay-earned coins can be spent on items.
