Terrifying horror nopefest Phasmophobia combined with immersive room lighting looks like an easy way to give yourself a chronic case of the brown trousers

I’ve been around this game long enough now to have sat through many immersive gaming experiences. VR headsets, racing wheels, game-synced RGB room lighting, bum-rumblers, the lot. But there’s inevitably a point where all this gear transitions from a gameplay-enhancing experience booster into something genuinely terrifying, and I think TikTok user Idaxix may have found it.

Describing themselves as “The LED Light Guy”, Idaxix has rigged up their front room with a dazzling array of LEDs, smart bulbs and RGB lightstrips to immerse themselves in their big-screen gaming experience. Good for them. The step too far here involves syncing it all up with terrifying psychological horror game Phasmophobia, including flashing lights that indicate when a ghost is near.
