Midnight Ghost Hunt is a 4-Vs-4 Action Horror Video Game by Vaulted Sky Games.

The game splits the players up into two teams of four: four ghosts, and four ghost hunters. Each game takes the players to a wide variety of dark, gloomy haunted places wherein the two teams compete against each other. The ghost hunters have to bust and trap all four ghosts, utilizing a wide variety of weapons and technology to rid the area of its ghost infestation. Meanwhile, the ghosts are to try and stop the ghost hunters and show them they won't go down that easy.

There is another thing. The game wouldn't be called Midnight Ghost Hunt if that time of night doesn't factor in somehow. If all the ghosts aren't busted by the time the clock strikes twelve, well, that's when the ghosts really start fighting back.

The game was released on March 31st, 2022.


Midnight Ghost Hunt contains examples of:

  • Abominable Auditorium: One of the maps you can play in is a haunted, slightly crumbling, theatre.
  • Action Horror: It's about humans armed with anti-ghost equipment hunting down, and trying to survive, the ghosts haunting the area.
  • Asymmetric Multiplayer: The hunters have abilities to detect and attack ghosts, while the ghosts are vulnerable and need to hide. When midnight strikes, the hunters need to avoid the ghosts, while the ghosts become powerful attackers.
  • Competitive Multiplayer: Four ghost hunters Vs. four ghosts.
  • Die, Chair, Die!: There are many props around the map that need to be attacked to test if a ghost is in them.
  • Dressing as the Enemy: The ghosts can assume the form of the hunters to trick them.
  • Enemy-Detecting Radar: Ghosts remaining still will build up ectoplasm, which can be picked up with the ghost detector gadget.
  • Ghosts Abhor a Vacuum: The ghost hunters can equip themselves with a vacuum to suck up the shattered remains of defeated ghosts.
  • Minigame: Hunters on the way to the scene can bring up a handheld console. The game involves defeating ghosts that approach along one of three lanes.
  • P.O.V. Cam: The players who take the role of the hunters take view the game from a first-person perspective.
  • Red Is Violent: The ghosts turn red when they get their power boost at midnight, allowing them to fight back against the hunters.
  • Respawning Enemies: At midnight, any defeated ghost will respawn, even if they are vacuumed.
  • Timed Mission: Two. First, the Ghost Hunters have five minutes to get rid of the ghosts. Then the ghosts have five minutes to take down the hunters.
