GAME WONT LAUNCH! why the ♥♥♥♥ do company's use easy anti cheat, such a TEMU anti cheat. It just DOESN'T work....EVER! When launching the game anti cheat jump-scares you saying "We cant launch it code something something" SO stupid. I'm noticing a lot of people with this issue as well. Fix it or this game is gonna be removed from steam if deemed "unplayable"

Overall, this game is a fun, silly prop hunt game to play with friends. I played this game in beta and really enjoyed playing it. After trying to boot up and try out the new update myself and six of my friends experienced multiple issues with lag and crashing. It was to the point where half of the time spent in game was in the lobby waiting for people to reconnect. We tried lowering settings, setting the game to …

This game is honestly amazing, I'd consider it the peak of prop hunt styled games. So fun and engaging, but sadly this game is dead. Devs are still active too, and updating their dead game - I honestly wish they had more players, they deserve success for making such an awesome game

Nobody knows this game even exists. If there was SOME kind of marketing, ANY kind of marketing, I'm sure this would be able to draw in a crowd but as it stands, there's NO playerbase whatsoever and what there is is mostly cheaters because the Devs have no reason to pay attention to this game. TL;DR: A soul paining amount of lost potential sitting in the void.

60 of 179 · most liked firstOne of the best game concepts the game has died if anybody that is a creator of this reads these please do this…. Make the game free to get the player base back I hate that it has to come to this but the game has to be free to get people on, make your money off cosmetics and skins your not making anything now so it won’t hurt you, get a streamer to promote it make a commercial and get people on this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →incredible game but nobody really plays it, if it had a larger community or better AI it'd be a better experience but playing with the AI is TOO easy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know on steam it shows I have 76 hours in the game, but I have hundreds more on the Epic Store version (got it free from there, and got the steam version because at one point crossplay didn't work well between clients). Midnight Ghost Hunt is a prop hunt style game where you play as a Ghost or a Hunter. The ghosts can jump into any item on the map and take control, with some props (like taking over a dinosaur head) gives you an extra ability. Hunters have until the clock hits midnight, and…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is criminally underrated. The mechanics, the spooky,yet,silly atmosphere, and the gadget loadouts are so incredibly well-polished. Playing with a coordinated squad makes you feel like an actual Ghostbuster, and playing as a ghost lets you unleash absolute telekinetic chaos. While the active player base is on the smaller side right now, the core loop is brilliant. If you're on the fence, grab a 4 pack with your friends during a sale. Games like this deserve a thriving community!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seemed fun in the tutorial. but there are way too many annoying young children who play this. They are obnoxiously loud. the random group finder queue is filled with them and completely ruins random group play. So, I'd advise playing with friends only.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wont even open anymore plus unless you play with friends 90% of the time is playing against bots
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sad this game died, it didn't deserve it. Such a fire concept and execution just to be left behind by the fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such type of games die fast. But no worries. It has bots that are quite good. They surely will keep you company. Mad respect for developers who managed to code in AI Bots for both Hunters and Ghosts. Many games just stick to Online Players only. Which means the game dies and you'll no longer be able to play it. Not this one. This one has it all. Thank you

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So so so much fun. Could be huge but devs refuse to just make it free and sell skins. Often under 10 players online. So sad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hasn't been updated in forever. Steam multiplayer won't work, and Epic Game Services is GARBAGE. Works, kinda, but crashes a lot, won't link accounts properly. Just sad a game like this has such potential, but never fully fixed crappy multiplayer... :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game. Possessing items and trolling the hunters is the best part. It's really a shame that so few people play now. This game is great, but it's going nowhere unless the devs start promoting the game more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is truly an underrated game, the mechanics and execution are absolutely fantastic and it's hard not to enjoy it. I think the lack of players is that the game hasn't quite taken off among streamers like many others have.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to enjoy this game and decided that I wanted to jump back in and check out the new content SEVERAL TIMES and the game literally does not work anymore. Despite trying ALL of the "fixes" both online and on the steam discussions, the game will not launch. EAC is broken and nothing is working to fix it. What a shame that they wont fix this issue as i used to have a lot of fun on it and I am certain this issue is going to kill the game and prevent new players from playing at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you have some buddies to play with you this game is super fun and chaotic, but if you plan on playing this in random public lobbies i wouldnt suggest purchasing

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With 500+ hours in this game, and a lot of experience, I highly recommend you buy Midnight Ghost Hunt. You play as either a hunter or a ghost in a 4v4 battle. As a ghost, your job is to possess props, and find clever places to hide, while the hunters have a 5 minute time limit to find you before midnight strikes. When that happens, you gain the advantage, and the hunters become the hunted. There are currently 11 maps, each with their own unique feel and rooms. As you get better at the game, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Midnight Ghost Hunt is a thrilling and unique multiplayer experience that brings a fresh twist to the classic hide-and-seek concept. The game effortlessly blends horror with humor, offering an engaging and adrenaline-pumping atmosphere for players. The concept is simple yet incredibly fun: Ghost hunters have to capture the ghosts hiding in the environment, while the ghosts themselves can possess objects and set traps to thwart their pursuers. The dynamic between the two teams is what makes the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I use to play this with my kid all the time when it worked on the Steam Deck. It stopped working on the Steam Deck about a year ago with some updates/changes. Sad times.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game literally wont launch. Says game was launched without EOS Bootstrapper and then closes. I've tried like 6 different things online to fix it and it still wont launch. Found comments from 2 years ago about fixing the issue, spoiler alert, its not fixed. UNINSTALL
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, the music and atmosphere are perfect. not ultra complicated but has enough little complexities to allow some interesting play styles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game 9/10 but 0/10 player count.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolutely great game, sad that the playercount is so low
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ghostly prop hunt. i recommend playing it in custom lobbies with friends! you can still unlock ingame stuff playing in customs and thats awesome bc most games hate it when you play with friends ;(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a mix between ghostbusters and prop hunt and is very fun with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is AWESOME. It's prop hunt but so much more. You have unique abilities and ways to mess with the hunters and escape as a props and ways to find and corner props as hunters. The game has an extremely small player base and is essentially dead. But the game handles this in such a perfect way, you'll barely even notice. Of course, getting 2-3 friends to join you in a party and play with bots in a public match works pretty well and is a great time, but if you're by yourself, you don't…

positive · AI labelView post →Fun Game with lots of added in game perks to gain through game play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No players, bots are stupid, limited content, can't get a refund now don't get this game. I've only player a public game with one other person in it. Yay, amazing multiplayer game. Bots literally stand where I'm hiding and don't do anything. Even for the low price I bought it at I would 100% not recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable on Linux - due to mix of UE4 issues + reliance on Epic Games Anti-cheat? Disappointing, game looked fun to play with friend group.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spooky & lots of fun. Great for Halloween or just a simple game night.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →don't buy very very very very dead as of right this minute, there is literally 2-4 people online: you need at least 6 for this to be even kind of fun. genuinely, want to know if the PUBLISHER just screwed the dev team somehow, because the game is actually good. was never advertised and never had more than a few thousand playing at its highest peak even though it should of had more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game , I reccomended , alone or with a group, bots are fun to play against . Hopefull for this game to regain its player base <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got as a gift, tried it few times, once solo once with friends and i didnt enjoyed it, wasnt hooking me up to continue playing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Game and Very Fun BUT there is just no one Playing and the Devs just dont advertise this game leading to no new players
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the game would play it all the time if it had the player base. At this point I believe the dev’s should release it for free to all and make their money off of cosmetics and a battle pass. This game has a lot of potential and it is very unfortunate that the dev’s of this game have given up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game...a shame all the 'dead game' doom sayers dont just play/fill in with AI if they want. Not everything has to be a '1 million players online' to be fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game fell off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR Fun game, not enough players to make the matches fun I got this game with a friend to burn a few hours together. Premise is very good and well executed. Lots of fun interactions to be had. However this game has a very unfortunate issue of not having enough players. Either you are forced into bot lobbies or encounter the fans of the game who are so good that they make the game unfun as a new player. Literally punished for being good at a game they enjoy through no wrongdoing or fault of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wish it wasnt dead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a lot of fun, especially if you play with friends. The hide-and-seek part done well, and I like that both hunters and ghosts have time for both hiding and seeking. No microtransactions: you earn in-game currency just by playing, earning even more by winning or completing challenges. So eventually you can get all the perks and skins you want without needing to pay more than the game worths. There's even collectables and a mini-game for hunters to play while ghosts hide. All nice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun, great party game if you can fill the lobby with your own friends. 2 man dev team just dropped a huge update. I'd recommend this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This month on the 26th and at around 4pm I will be doing a collab stream with eleven other streamers, the host of the event is @lazarusvlad.bsky.social so make sure to check out their page for more info. We will be playing a prop hunt game called Midnight Ghost Hunt.

neutral · AI labelView post →Games good, but about 5-10 players online most days & they're way too skilled for a newbie to enjoy it. Game could use a steep price reduction to compete with the games of this type available on steam. This one is actually the best option, it's just too expensive to warrant buying it & needs more players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game NEEDS more love. It’s a brilliant twist on the classic Prop Hunt formula and I highly recommend grabbing it while it’s on a sale and playing with a group of friends. #midnightghosthunt #steam #videogames #gaming #prophunt store.steampowered.com/app/915810/M...
positive · AI labelView post →Midnight Ghost Hunt was an absolutely delightful and hilarious async pvp game. It only had one marker push. People tried it, expressed balance frustration, then dropped it. And despite losing pretty much any semblance of a playerbase, they still update it sometimes. bsky.app/profile/chea...

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, a family friend's kid made Midnight Ghost Hunt. No mom its not that easy to make a game and just because I play games doesn't mean I want to code them. Everyone knew what they wanted in life and I'm still flying blind after all these years.🧵
neutral · AI labelView post →I am fully aware of my flaws. Years of hearing that other people's kids already started a company, made a best selling video game (Midnight Ghost Hunt), graduated and utilized their degrees, and knew what they wanted in life when I still don't know my purpose wore away at me too.🧵
