About
You find an old computer with a forgotten program installed: Phantom Strike. A single server is still online, frozen in time and waiting for someone to finish the match. When you join, you discover a scoreboard already in progress, silent teammates who never spawn, and a server that has been running for years. What begins as nostalgic curiosity becomes a descent into something far stranger.

Someone is watching you play. He can ban your account, crash your machine, rewrite your settings, or even hide the server entirely. Survive his interference and keep going. Your actions shape the fate of the players trapped inside the match. Will you finish what they started? Break the cycle? Or collapse along with the system?
Navigate an eerie early-2000s operating system:
• Search old emails
• Recover corrupted files
• Fight against sabotage inside your own interface
• And uncover traces of someone who doesn’t want you here
The desktop recreates a stylized early-2000s OS with translucent windows, smooth animations, and crisp synthetic sound effects. Phantom Strike brings back the feel of classic shooters with low-poly maps, washed-out textures, and quiet servers that were once full of life, but now feel abandoned, uneasy, and wrong.

Dev, you inspire me SO MUCH. I hope we won't have to wait another 5 years because this game is a delight. Honestly, slightly worse than game.exe 1. However, it's a worthy game anyway and it was nice to immerse myself in desktop simulator. The story is told nicely and the attention to details is as excellent as before but what I really didn't like was the lack of hints. They might be bugged but it always shows me the same thing - "Play Phantom Strike" and that's it. The moment with downloading the driver almost killed me - I found it completely by chance. Everything else is wonderful and it's worth spending an evening playing this game.
игра слишком короткая, особо ничего нет, хочется какого-нибудь хоррора, ответа на письма, приходящих со временем писем, всё что есть это Phantom Strike, всё, ничего захватывающего = зря деньги потратил
烂屁股游戏。作者我服务器密码呢?玩一半那个Jake就把cs服务器上锁了,也不给提示密码在哪里,找了两个半小时都没找到。作者你玩过自己的游戏没有?不会做游戏可以不做,你个沙dio。 二十块钱可以给贫困儿童捐一顿午饭,而不是买这个垃圾游戏。 严重怀疑那个好评是亲友团给的。 以下写于通关后: 作者更新了,有提示了,虽然有些提示还是不明显。下面说一下自认为不明显提示的操作流程。 1.[spoiler] 游戏账号有两个,一个是cole.kessler@mailbox.com,这个是用来自己注册的,要用到破解程序,这个程序需要先把防火墙关了才能打开;第二个是旧邮箱krimzon@mailbox.com,密码是daisy1987。 [/spoiler] 2.[spoiler] 服务器上锁后密码是Jake的出生年份1965(一位网友告诉我的,真有人把自己的生日用作服务器密码这么重要的密码吗?)。 [/spoiler] 3.[spoiler] 有一关是右下角会显示WinBox无法打开程序,此时要更新硬件。前往浏览器搜索NAND后下载对应的处理器修复程序即可。处理器型号可在系统设置中查看。 [/spoiler] 这个好评是给作者负责任的态度的。 这个游戏不是恐怖游戏,但是当时购买的时候是从恐怖游戏分类里找到的。
The game looks amazing, it has the vibes of an old PC, i really like the style. However, the puzzles are a big problem, they are too difficult and not intuitive at all, it is very hard to progress, i tried to use the help option but it doesnt make it easier, this makes the game frustrating. If they improve the help option or they improve the puzzles directly it would be an awesome game. ;)
The game is pretty decent as a virtual desktop environment, but as a horror/mystery game it's very lacking in story. Don't expect answers on why things are the way they are, just go through the rounds and get an ending. Mediocre but there's worse ways to spend five bucks I guess.
such an amazing game :D
I had played and loved It Takes a War, and when I saw a similar game be announced I became very excited for it! I still recommend the game, but currently it is a very barebones and limited experience. I hope the developer can take the experience from this game, and use it to maybe update it or build on it for a third installment of the series. E claro, Brasil mencionado, o que caralhos é um Winbox???
O jogo é realmente divertido, bom pra passar um tempo rápido. Hoje em dia o pessoal tá muito mal acostumado a gameplays longas, esse jogo por ser mais curto, talvez não atraia muito o público de hoje, mas é um jogo divertido, ainda pelo valor cobrado. Única crítica que deixo é que certas mecânicas poderiam ser mais aprofundadas, oq traria mais tempo de gameplay.
Довольно простая игра, не долгая. Сюжет звёзд с неба не хватает. Игра не без багов и "трудностей перевода". Оказалось что в демке (не помню по какому поводу её показывали, но она была) было показано ~80% игры. Честно, после демки ожидал немного большего чем оказалось по факту. Хорора нет, моральных терзаний особо тоже нет. После первой концовки вполне читаются остальные, потом как-нибудь их посмотрю. может быть
10/10 Joguinho relativamente curto, mas com muito replay value. A atmosfera te leva de volta aos tempos do windows 7, com muitas interações possíveis para realizar dentro do próprio computador enquanto tenta desvendar o mistério sobre o que aconteceu com os jogadores de Phantom Strike.
