What is GTFO? In GTFO, your situation is anything but rosy. Together with three other troubled souls, you are sent into the depths of a mysterious underground complex to retrieve different things for your employers – resistance is not an option.
What has really happened in this underground structure is not quite clear – however, the objects of desire are difficult to obtain, as numerous monsters from nightmarish horrors often inhabit the levels, which do not take kindly to intruders.
You must act as a team, proceed efficiently and skillfully to meet the various tasks and then escape with the mission objective before the onslaught of revolting creatures grows stronger. Much can be handled by stealth, but if the flashlight is pointed incorrectly at a sleeping creature, it wakes up – and then they all wake up.
The dark atmosphere and creepy soundscape ensure that GTFO is an experience where your pulse races – since victory and defeat often lie just one small mistake apart. After all, the clear message of the game is: GTFO – “Get the Fuck Out”.
GTFO is ideal for: Anyone who enjoys communicating while gaming and working with strategy. GTFO can also be played with some bots, but the game is really fun only when you have gathered three more players on Discord to face the horror together. If you prefer to go solo, you should steer clear of GTFO – as the game loses not only its horror, but also its fun.
GTFO is also not for those who suffer from claustrophobia – the oppression in the game is massive.
What makes the horror of GTFO? A whole lot. In GTFO, not only is the whole environment permanently in darkness, but also the feeling of unease is a constant companion. A seemingly safe and simple mission can quickly descend into chaos when the dark creatures suddenly appear and demand everything from you to survive.

What is Phasmophobia? In Phasmophobia, you take on the role of ghost hunters along with three team members. At various locations, you try to find out what exactly the ghost or creature wants that haunts the respective locality. You can either get up close and investigate the phenomena closely or remain safely in your truck and watch the cameras while your colleagues go out.
Especially cool: Phasmophobia also has a VR mode. If you have the appropriate equipment, you can experience the fright even more intensely. However, this is not mandatory.
Phasmophobia is ideal for: Anyone who wants to live out their “Ghost Busters” fantasy in co-op, which is significantly scarier. Every now and then someone may scream in surprise on Discord, which adds to the thrill. But only those who combine wisely and act together can find out as much as possible about the respective ghost.
What makes the horror of Phasmophobia? The oppressive atmosphere of the game is the greatest attraction. Dark places with narrow corridors and many possibilities where the haunting can show its effects. Particularly unsettling is that the ghost can also react to the players’ voices and listen for certain key words and then act accordingly.
The longer an investigation lasts, the more impatient the creature becomes and the more dangerous the stay becomes, which is why time is also a crucial factor – even if a large part of the game consists only of searching for the smallest activities to lure out the ghost. Because the mental health of the players continues to decline …
