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 clearest difference is rating: Raft® Survival at 4.5 against The Ghost's 3.9. Raft® Survival also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 4.5K). The Ghost's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 27%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. The Ghost sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Raft® Survival sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Raft® Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raft® Survival has 38K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of The Ghost's written reviews are positive against 27% of Raft® Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Ghost ships an update every 2 weeks, Raft® Survival every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
