Phantom Line on Steam
Join the paranormal SWAT. PHANTOM LINE is a co-op (1-4) shooter set in the post-nuclear European continent. Your mission is to search and contain paranormal events and activities (anomalies) hidden from the public eye, in an open world map full of dynamic events.
Wake up, soldiers!
Nuclear chaos just broke out in Europe. You're part of an elite spec-op unit for a Mortfield megacorp hunting paranormal threats hidden from the public eye, tasked with investigating a facility that's gone dark.
It has been a few months since your last mission…feels like a lifetime ago. But it wasn’t. Now get your head back in the game.
While you were in the freezer, we built you something new: Mortfield’s training facility. You will train under my direct supervision between March 3rd and 10th. Don't be late. Don't be soft.
NEW FEATURES:
Explore the new elements of the game, including Mortfield's training facility for H.U.S.K. Operators and new anomalies to be discovered. Fight new types of enemies, solve new mysteries, and overcome new challenges. Board the nuclear icebreaker. Make it yours. Then go to work.
PLAYED LAST YEAR?
Good, you'll notice the difference immediately. We tore apart the 3Cs (Character, Camera, and Controls) and rebuilt them from the ground up: new animations, a rewritten movement and interaction system, an improved camera, advanced spatial audio, and refreshed biomes and weather. Phantom Line feels almost like a brand new game, and in most ways that matter, it is.
In the process, we buried a significant number of bugs, fixed pain points from our previous playtest, tightened up networking, and optimized the world environment. The game isn't finished, but it's sharper, smoother, and punchier than it was.
GAME SUMMARY
PHANTOM LINE is a co-op (1-4) shooter set in the post-nuclear European continent. Your mission is to search and contain anomalies – paranormal activity hidden from the public eye, in an open-world map full of dynamic events.
THE OPERATOR - You are in an elite spec-op unit, working for Mortfield Industries, a megacorp that gave you a second chance. You‘ve been selected for the Operator Simulation Program called H.U.S.K., where you can transfer your consciousness between artificial bodies. Use husks in your tactics: scout, distract, decoy, or utilize many other strategies and commands to gain an advantage over anything in the way.
ANOMALIES - Hidden from the public, our world is full of paranormal creatures and phenomena dubbed “anomalies.” Leaking into our world through rifts in the space-time fabric, these threats to humanity grow each day. Containing these extremely dangerous events requires the most elite Operators.
BASE UPGRADES - A nuclear Icebreaker ship will be your base of operations. Customize your husk and cabin, showcase your weapons and armors to your friends, and modify your gear and body. Get briefed on the main deck before your next anomaly hunt.
WORLD - Nuclear war has just broken out, and you are in the Iron Corridor, a post-nuclear Eastern European warzone: lawless, resource-scarce, and full of things that don't show up on any map. Operators work without a net out here: hunt for food, scavenge for gear, improvise constantly. The anomalies don't wait for you to be ready. Neither does anything else.
HUMANITY IS AT WAR - to fight the anomalous horrors, you must turn into one yourself. Wield the husks for the cause. Augment your body with exotic elements found by containing anomalies. Become the ultimate anomaly hunter.
Study your surroundings, plan, prepare, and adjust your tactics. The Organization is counting on you. Wield the husks for the cause.
Now, go die again.
