Phasmophobia
A cooperative horror investigation about identifying a randomised ghost from evidence.
the cheat-test profile
The four axes - the argument
Each axis is rated on its own - how far one cheat would trivialize the game here. They don't trade off; low on all four means the game is an experience, not a contest.
Execution
cheat: Aimbot - perfect inputs
1/10Minimal aiming; you just walk and use tools.
Reads
cheat: Out-predict an adaptive opponent
1/10Ghost behaviour is randomised, not adaptive to you.
Variance
cheat: See what's hidden / map the RNG
7/10Ghost type and evidence rolls are hidden each contract.
Optimization
cheat: A perfect solver / coach
6/10Evidence trees and equipment loadouts are solvable checklists.
How to read this
Each axis is named by the cheat that would break the game along it. Execution is the hands. Reads is out-thinking an adaptive opponent. Variance is hidden information & RNG. Optimization is the solvable systems layer. A game's region is the top one or two axes.
These four aren't one rating split four ways - they're independent 0-10 questions. A 9 on one axis takes nothing from the others, and a game low on all four isn't missing data: it's telling you there's no skill here to cheat.
The basis is how the majority actually plays this game - not a niche mode or a personal run. For a game with very different modes (a story campaign versus ranked multiplayer), that's the version most people mean.
