About the Game

LORE:

Hi, I'm Joseph Karras. I'm a photojournalist specializing in documenting paranormal activities. The church sent me here to this house to collect evidence from a supposed ghost that resides here. My goal today is to take a picture of the ghost and anything else paranormal I can find.

GAMEPLAY:

phoToq is a single player psychological horror where you need to take pictures of paranormal events in a haunted house. Every run generates new goals at random. You must be careful with the ghost girl who is not happy with your presence and will try to kill you.

GAME FEATURES:

  • Scariest 2D game in years.
  • High immersion with sound elements happening all the time, keeping the player alert and fearful.
  • Dark and tense atmosphere with constant paranormal events happening around you.
  • You must quickly hide from the ghost when attacked to continue your objective.
  • Capture paranormal evidence and beware of the ghost.
  • High replay factor with random generated objectives on each new run.
