Get ready for some spooky, object-possessing, multiplayer madness in Polterguys: Possession Party.
Polterguys is a thrilling chase game with a ghostly twist. Developed by Madorium and published by Amplified Games, this chaotic party game is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Priced at £24.99, Polterguys invites up to eight players into a whimsical world where mischievous ghosts (the titular Polterguys) possess everyday objects to survive.
Why survive? Because a relentless monster is hunting them down, and only the last ghost standing wins!
Possess, Evade, Sabotage!
The core gameplay loop is a frantic mix of evasion and cunning sabotage. As a Polterguy, you’ll possess objects not just to hide or look cool, but also to gain special abilities.
You’ll need to use these powers, along with strategically placed power-ups and traps found across 10 physics-based levels, to outsmart the monster and your fellow players.
That’s right – spite is your greatest ally! You can use the monster as a weapon, manipulating the environment or using seemingly harmless abilities to trick your opponents into the monster’s path. It’s a delightful recipe for chaotic fun and potential friendship-testing moments.

Polterguys is built for multiplayer chaos:

There are also over 20 collectible costume possessions to discover and level up, adding cosmetic flair to your ghostly antics.
