The Other Side

This game is awesome! I love it. It does absolutely need more equipment and a much more detailed way of what types of evidence you can collect with what piece of equipment. Like for example, what kinds of pictures count for evidence? Does the new camcorder not record anything? If there's a way they can add some newer more detailed information and equipment then this will be 10 out of 10. On a side note I'm so bummed out about the extra websites on the laptop not working yet. I bought this game for myself and another copy of it for my little brother and I honestly don't regret it. Awesome price for the game and the quality is fantastic. Just needs to be a bit more in depth and include some better ways to get evidence.

This is an awesome game to play! I've always enjoyed playing with TOS community, Developers are wonderful, they do listen and care about us because they wanted to make sure we all are happy playing this game. This is an early access and they do have so much to add into this game and I am looking forward to what they have become in the future! 100/10

My friends bought this for me because our group is too big for Phas, ToS lets me meme my friends while dead we occasionally play Phas and when we play Phas I get sad not being able to talk ♥♥♥♥ to my friends once I inevitably die and not getting a second chance at life, I love the Tarot Card feature and how the Spirit Box works, you can tell the game is a passion project and not just being put out as a cash grab its actively being developed and in its current state it's fun as hell cant wait to see what else is too come

went to a house first thing that happends: a table gets thrown to my head try to detect what ghost it is gets unalived in under 5 minutes with around 50 hearattacks. 10/10 would play again.

I put an embarrassing number of hours into Phasmophobia over the years. Loved it, still respect it. But The Other Side has completely taken over my ghost hunting nights, and honestly it's just better for what I want out of the genre. The big thing for me is that identifying the ghost doesn't have to be the end of the job. There's an Identify mode if you want the classic experience, gather evidence, narrow it down, name the thing, get out. But there's also a Cleanse mode, where you actually have to deal with what's haunting the place: feed the ghost's traits into the Spectral Affixer, hunt down the artifacts anchoring it, and destroy them. Having both means you can pick your night. Quick run with the old formula, or the full job with a second phase that gives everyone something real to do. With six people you can genuinely split into teams and split the work. Nobody's standing around holding a thermometer waiting for something to happen. Proximity voice chat is great, and the fact that dead teammates can still talk to you through the spirit box is such a good call. Being haunted by your own friend backseat-hunting from beyond the grave is peak co-op horror comedy. It also looks fantastic. UE5 environments with real layouts and detail, not just corridors with a flickering light. And the progression side genuinely hooked me — earning money to kit out your character, upgrade to a bigger van so you can haul more gear, and slowly furnish an HQ that looks like a real base of operations. I did not expect to care about interior decorating in a horror game. I care a lot. For $13.99 in Early Access with the roadmap the devs have laid out, it's an easy recommend. Two things on my wishlist. First, achievements. That's the only actual gap — give me something to grind for on the side and it's complete. Second, and this is the dream: a 7 player mode where one person plays as the ghost. Six investigators versus one human entity who actually decides when to mess with the EMF reader, when to slam a door, when to go for a hunt. The identify-then-cleanse structure would be perfect for it, because now there's a mind behind the misdirection instead of a behaviour table. Add that and this is the most goated ghost hunting game ever made, no contest.

switched from phasmophobia to this. The graphics are beautiful, and the sound design is impressive. The ghost design and building designs are great and actually scary, and this game gets frequent updates and has an actually good developer team. I see a very bright future for this game. I'd definitely recommend buying this game because $14 is a steal for an amazing game like this and you are supporting the developers.

excellent game. can't wait to find out where it all heads too.

Played this for the first time a couple weeks ago. Was quite impressed. I come from Phasmophobia... which I loved originally and used to play a TON, but ever since they completely overhauled the game and ruined player progress with their prestige system years ago... I haven't been able to enjoy it as a casual player since. Items are unbelievably expensive for a casual player, you have to spend tens of hours grinding to level up to unlock equipment now, and the updates just keep ruining the game more. ...HOWEVER I was very surprised with this game, The Other Side. This game really scratches that OG Phas itch -- except it's a lot cleaner, less buggy, and has its own systems to make it a little more intricate. You can 100% play this AS A CASUAL PLAYER. You do NOT have to grind TENS of hours just to have decent equipment. You start off with $500 which lasts several runs. if you run out of $ they have a basic FREE kit you can take in (just takes a small % at the end of your cash), there's decent character customization, tons of level difficulty options, a chance to revive upon death, talking to your friends over the spirit box when you're dead, and so much more. My only takeaway would be that I'd like to see more smaller maps added in, more scare model options/variety, and lighting and/or room get some tweaks for the lobby/preload room. It's a bit cramped and dark for character customization; especially when trying to read your friends' clothing. Great job to this dev team, keep up the great work! Excited to play this again and looking forward to future game updates.
