Midnight Ghost Hunt, a horror hide-and-seek game on Steam, was a true streaming hit on Twitch at release. Currently, you can try the game for free for a limited time.
The multiplayer horror game is developed by Vaulted Sky Games. Since March 31, 2022, you can play it in Early Access on Steam. Right at release, the horror game was among the top trends on Twitch:
- Right at release, the game had 66,000 concurrent viewers.
- After a week, the game had a total of 1.39 million hours watched across all channels (via Sullygnome.com).
In Midnight Ghost Hunt, you play hide and seek and take on one of two roles: Ghosts or Hunters. As Ghosts, you become invisible by disguising yourself as objects – then striking from behind.
The Hunters aim to find and eliminate the Ghosts before midnight. Because after that, the Ghosts become overpowered and hunt the other group.
You play Midnight Ghost Hunt in online PvP as a 4v4 multiplayer game.

Many praise it as a fun multiplayer game that scores points for its gameplay and good mechanics:
- [Pastor]Quaacki: ‘A brilliant counter to Phasmophobia. If Phasmophobia is too boring for you and you want to play it in a first-person shooter style, this game is perfect. Personally, I find this game extremely fun. The development team is consistently working on this game to create improvements […]’
- LevyXnu: ‘Honestly thought it was just another prop hunt game, but I changed my mind once midnight came and I got brutally beaten by Ikea furniture.’
- Champ Ba1ley: ‘Please just make the game free at this point. It has so much potential and I know it sucks for all those who purchased it, but I’m sure people would prefer to have a player base over never being able to play.’
However, it is often mentioned that the game has a rather small player base, which sometimes makes matching difficult and drags on.
How long will the game be in Early Access? On Steam, the developers state that Midnight Ghost Hunt has been in development for more than 3 years. However, it was only last year that the team expanded, allowing them to fully start production.
The game is regularly expanded and they expect another 1-2 years in Early Access, but do not rule out a longer period before the full launch.
