Developed and published by Bloody Bear,Spooky Menis anearly access gamethat first released on July 18, 2025. It seems that when it first launched it was listed at a far more reasonable price and was even listed for as low as $0.59 at one point, according to SteamDB. Those that tried the game at the time gave it negative reviews, but since the massive price increase its overall reception has turned from negative to mixed. The more recent user ratings for the game have been positive, though they are mostly joke reviews. According to users on Reddit, the game’s developer has been giving away codes through Discord, hence how some people have been able to play despite its ridiculous $1 million price tag.

Players can play as humans and as a ghost, with the humans having to work together to escape the house while the ghost tries to sabotage them.
