New Wishlie Hospital You were getting your daily treatment with friends at the New Wishlie Hospital for 2 weeks already, and today was time to get discharged from the hospital. But something happened. You woke up at 2 AM and found out that all the patients were gone, except you and your friends. The place looks much muddier and it’s... locked! You read in magazines about the hospital and turns out that it's haunted. Now It seems like the only way to escape is through the garage door. Will you be able to get away by the time the ghost devours your soul? High School Emily and Leila were studends and best friends. They lived in a small house in a town with almost no people. It was Sunday, and it was routinuous for them to visit the cemetery together. Only this time, for some reasons, Emily felt she would better stay home. So she decided to stay home. Looking out of window, Emily sees strange creature creeping behind her sister... The next day after Leila's absence, she runs to school for help. On her way to get inside the school, the main school gate closes behind her. Now locked inside the school area, the next thing she notices are students who struggle to survive... Apartments Waking up you realized that you were stuck in a cursed apartment. You and your friends need to use elevator to reach the first floor and exit the building. But it's not as easy as it seems: when you miss an anomaly on one floor, the elevator will glitch and take you back to the highest floor. Even more: there are monsters, ghosts and maniacs lurking on floors. Play with up to 5 players. Play as survivor - escape the place. Play as the ghost - don't let the survivors escape. Choose Exit 8 game mode to play Apartments in guessing mode.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Among Us! at 841K against The Ghost's 4.3K. Among Us! also leads on chart position (#6 vs #59). The Ghost's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Among Us! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Ghost sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Among Us! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Among Us! has 841K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Among Us!'s written reviews are positive against 60% of The Ghost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Among Us! ships an update monthly, The Ghost every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
