Unlike competitive shooters, Phasmophobia is a cooperative experience. This raises a unique ethical question: does "cheating" still matter if it isn't used against other players?
: Even in co-op, one player using a menu can ruin the experience for others by removing the need for teamwork, making the match feel hollow or unearned. Developer Response and Security
The existence of PhasmoMenu v0.4.5 serves as a case study in the "cat-and-mouse" game between indie developers and modders. Kinetic Games, the creators of Phasmophobia , have had to balance adding new content with reinforcing the game’s security. Each iteration of a cheat menu forces the developers to spend resources on patches rather than gameplay, illustrating how third-party tools can inadvertently slow down the official progress of the games they claim to enhance.
