SpookSeek AR — Ghost Hunting Redefined Your phone is now a ghost detector. Point your camera into the darkness. Watch your scanner flicker. Something is out there — and it knows you're looking. SpookSeek AR transforms your phone into a piece of professional ghost-hunting equipment. Using real device sensors, the game tracks your every move as you scan the world around you for spectral activity. Tilt, turn, and sweep your phone through the air to detect ghosts hiding in the space around you — then lock on and capture them before they escape. Or attack. STORY MODE — The Thornwood Mystery Uncover the dark secrets of Thornwood Industries across five haunted locations. From the abandoned halls of Hollowbrook Orphanage to the depths of the Spirit Realm itself, piece together a decades-old conspiracy spanning the 1950s to 1970s. Fifty hand-crafted missions. Five terrifying bosses. One truth buried beneath it all. FREE PLAY — Hunt Anywhere, Anytime No story, no limits. Just you, your equipment, and whatever's lurking nearby. Rack up high scores, climb the ranks, and fill your Bestiary with every spectral entity you can find. GHOST RACE — Multiplayer Mayhem Challenge your friends to real-time ghost-hunting races. Create a room, share the code, and compete to see who can capture the most ghosts before time runs out. Live leaderboards. Bragging rights. No mercy. Ghost Photobooth Strike a pose with the paranormal. The Ghost Photobooth lets you snap photos with the ghosts you've captured during your hunts. Place 2D ghost stickers anywhere in your shot — drag them for the perfect setup. Or switch to 3D mode and summon a full ghost model right into your camera feed, complete with an eerie glowing effect that reacts as you move your phone. Once you've got the perfect shot, generate an official S.P.O.O.K. Incident Report — a shareable ghost capture card featuring your selfie, ghost stats, and threat analysis. Save it to your camera roll or share it directly with friends. The more ghosts you catch, the more you unlock for your photoshoots. 11 GHOST TYPES. EACH ONE DIFFERENT. Whispers drift. Shades sprint. Blinkers teleport. Phasers fade to nothing in your hands. Screamers charge straight at you. Wraiths are nearly invisible. And the Phantom King? You'll know when you meet him. SPECTRA-OS INTERFACE Every detail is designed to feel like real ghost-hunting tech. A live compass tape. A sweeping radar. Camera filters — Thermal, UV, EMF. An entity profile readout that tells you exactly what you're dealing with. If you're brave enough to look.

It's Coming
Read full descriptionHide full description
A monster is walking through the real streets of your city. Slowly. Toward the last place you marked on the map. It does not run. It does not stop. It follows real roads, and you watch the distance shrink: 2 km, 1 km, 500 m. HOW IT WORKS • Leave your mark on the map. That is where it will come. • When it wakes, it picks a survivor and starts walking. • Move, then leave a new mark, and it has to find your trail again. • Hide under Night Veil when it gets too close. • If it reaches you, recover and try to beat your record. A SLOW, PERSONAL DREAD No jump scares and no action buttons. Just a dark map, a heartbeat that speeds up, and a shape getting closer one street at a time. Check in for a minute, put the phone away, and feel it moving while you are gone. YOU ARE NOT ALONE Other survivors appear as anonymous, coarse signals. Sometimes it is hunting them, not you. Sometimes it turns around. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Location is used only when you choose to leave your mark, never in the background. • Nobody ever sees where you actually are. • No account needed to start. Share how long you lasted, climb the records, and come back when it loses your trail. It's Coming is fictional entertainment, not a safety, tracking, emergency, or navigation service.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: It's Coming at none against SpookSeek AR's 1. It's Coming also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). SpookSeek AR's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
