Eyemobi, an emerging development studio with a keen eye for terrifying gaming experiences, today officially announced the Full Release on Steam of its PC title, Phantasmal, a first-person survival horror game with an emphasis on unpredictability. Phantasmal is available at: Phantasmal Steam Page.
“A great horror game is one where you never know what’s coming next. By procedurally generating levels, creatures, and pickups, and then updating on the fly to suit players’ differing abilities, we’ve created a constant ‘edge of your seat’ experience that never repeats,” said Joe Chang, Eyemobi Team Lead.
During it’s development, Phantasmal was featured by the world’s most popular YouTube personality, PewDiePie, and took first prize in the New Zealand Game Developer Association’s KiwiGameStarter competition. Dave Brevik, creator of the classic Diablo action role-playing series, was one of the award’s judges.
Inspired by old-school survival horror classics, Phantasmal features an intricate, randomly generated world, allowing infinite replayability since no two playthrough experiences will ever be the same. Players are challenged to be stealthy, resourceful, and quick-witted in lieu of direct combat, or else Phantasmal’s creatures will begin to diminish the player-character’s sanity. The game has strong Lovecraftian influences and is set in Hong Kong’s infamous Kowloon Walled City, prior to its destruction in the 1990s.
Key Features:
- Infinite Replayability: Every room and corridor in Phantasmal is uniquely generated with infinite possibilities. No level will EVER be constructed the same!
- Don’t Go Insane: Battling the creatures of Phantasmal will slowly erode the player character’s sanity, diminishing mental and physical states and forcing the player to deal with a fate worse than death.
- Tread Softly: Fighting is meant to be reserved as a last resort in Phantasmal. Sneak past enemies as much as possible, as each action taken will have consequences!
- Carry a Big Stick: When all else fails, players must defend themselves with anything they can find or rip from the walls. There are some firearms to be found, but making too much noise will be a fatal mistake.
- Light, Both an Ally and Enemy: Every asset to survivability has a price. Use light sources wisely, as even a torch can be a liabili
Phantasmal for PC is available now on Steam for $14.99 USD with a 20% launch discount during its first week of Full Release.
An XBox One release for Phantasmal is planned for mid-2016 with VR versions of the game in the pipeline.
