SEVERANCE

I played this game for the first time yesterday as part of community night and I absolutely loved it. Getting to play as the ghost is such a cool feature. I also really like the fact that there are different ways to get evidence in comparison to other ghost games. The canvas and the doll possession are really cool additions for gathering evidence. The tutorial was very helpful. I think a tutorial for how to play as different ghosts would be helpful also. The lounge/lobby area before you load into the game is a cool feature as well especially the arcade game mini game. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys ghost hunting games!

Phasmo Wish ! claqué au sol ! objets qui clip, bug d'affichage, lumière qui passe à travers les murs et j'en passe ! d'un ridicule, fuyez !

Weird, I don't remember buying a half baked demo! Now that I have your attention, lets address the elephant in the room. Several, actually. This is going to be a long one, so buckle up kiddos! Severance is a co-op horror game that tries to be Phasmophobia... and fails at every single turn. Now, I'm not one who dislikes Phasmophobia clones. I think they're fine, and I play them a lot. I was actually very intrigued by this game's description, and it seemed promising! However, I've seen better games made on Roblox by literal children. This game is full of a toxic community, a toxic developer, AI slop (despite the dev lying about it and trying to cover it up; I'll cover more on this later in this review), usage of stolen assets & free assets, harassment, unfair treatment of others, and so much more. The game is full of AI slop, stolen assets, and free assets. Being a "solo dev" is not an excuse for everything you're doing that's problematic - full stop!! He does not get to continue to use that as a crutch so that his toxic community can continue to harass any and all negative reviews (which I will also cover later on in the review as well!!) It's also full of cheap jumpscares and isn't actually that scary, despite advertising itself as a horror game. The game is also dead at almost all times with barely any activity. "Host your own lobby then if you can't find any!" I did, and I waited for quite some time and still nobody joined ; no activity in sight. 🤔 Now, I happen to not be the only one reporting on these problems.. Please check the negative reviews and you'll see that this has been said many times before, with the toxicity reports going as far back as November of 2025. Every single person has been unfairly banned (as to silence them) that has spoken up against the developer in any way, even if it was in a nice way and willing to resolve matters. The dev does not care. He puts on a nice guy act and even offers to buy you a free copy of his game to give to a friend of yours if you leave a good review on Steam! That's why there are so many good reviews, and so little bad reviews. Bribery. Disgusting tactic of manipulation to continue with review fraud. I will not be tempted, as neither should anyone else. There are a million different Phasmophobia-like games that are much better and more polished than this that are actually genuinely deserving of your money. Here are just a few of many concerning reviews I have found, background-checked, and verified to be true. 1. https://steamcommunity.com/id/TweekingOut/recommended/3815750 2. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199215745661/recommended/3815750/ 3. https://steamcommunity.com/id/raquitted/recommended/3815750/ 4. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199552342927/recommended/3815750 5. https://steamcommunity.com/id/jhingerbread/recommended/3815750/ Many of the "good" reviews, written by the dev's most outspoken supporters, are clearly AI generated slopshows meant to either get a free copy from the dev and/or to boost ratings so that the truth is even more buried than it already is with the dev silencing everyone. Some examples include, but are not at ALL limited to, the following: 1. https://steamcommunity.com/id/Greendemontv/recommended/3815750 2. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198044822243/recommended/3815750/ Another thing to note that most, if not all, of the dev's replies are completely AI generated slop. He claims he's honest about the game having used AI assets, but this is not the case. His community, first of all, is convinced that no AI is in the game or was ever used at all whatsoever. Continuing from this, the Steam page is incorrectly filed as usage of AI that was then replaced by "human reviewed content" (which means it's still AI, fyi). The dev has been trying to cover all of this up as of recently due to getting in more controversies. There has even been a YouTube video made going into slight depth of the most recent issues: https://youtu.be/EuPyppgRQZw This review, most notably, has the most amount of evidence aside from my own that I can find and I think it's very much worth checking out: https://steamcommunity.com/id/TweekingOut/recommended/3815750 Now, as for my own image dump. I will be putting an imgur link below, but please remove the spaces from inbetween the link so that it works correctly. It showcases stolen assets, free assets, and AI generated slop assets. This is from one session, not even a full 30 minutes into the game. AI generated slop, stolen content, and free assets everywhere, right off the bat. My link: imgur . com/a/JMYTYvf And before you scream at me for my low play-time, I don't feel like continuing to play a game after immediately being blasted with AI asset flip bullsh*t and a rabbithole of the developer's disgustingly toxic behaviors. To top it all off, the dev posts negative reviews for his outspoken, toxic supporters to come and harass you which is exactly what happened in several of the other Steam reviews I've linked; most notably the one with the most evidence I mentioned (also is the one where the YouTube video is from). He claims he does not condone the behavior, yet he is the one who actively encouraged & caused the behavior because he CBA to defend himself unless it's with AI. TL;DR: The game is an unpolished AI asset flip, the community is hostile, and the developer would rather bribe people for fake reviews than actually fix this broken mess of a "game". Keep your money or use it elsewhere and go play one of the dozens of other Phasmophobia clones that actually function. Roblox games are more invigorating than this game. With all that being said, hard f**king pass.

Ver enjoyable. You do need to think and being able to play as the ghost is entertaining.

This game is so much fun, especially being able to play as the ghost! You should definitely get this game and join the official server for Tuesday & Friday night community game nights! The dev is also very responsive and easy to communicate with as well. If you like playing the more popular ghost games you should definitely enjoy this game if you play with friends!

Severance delivers a thrilling asymmetric horror experience that pits four ghost hunters against a single player controlling the ghost, setting itself apart by letting you step directly into the haunting entity's shoes. Playing as the ghost allows you to experience the match from a completely fresh perspective, actively terrorizing the team, manipulating the environment, and hunting down players instead of just trying to survive. Backed by frequent developer updates that constantly bring new content, gameplay tweaks, and bug fixes, Severance stays fresh, competitive, and highly replayable for both sides.
