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 in-app purchases: Neon Splatter at none against The Ghost's 23. Neon Splatter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). The Ghost's advantage is chart position (#67 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
