About
A web of swirling conspiracies. A whirlwind of bullets. Amidst it all, a poignant tale of a boy and a girl unfolds...
The neo-noir visual novel Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO, originally released in 2000 as Nitroplus's (now NITRO ORIGIN) first title, is now on Steam!
The Steam port is available in three languages: Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese.
*Voiceover is only available in Japanese.
A string of assassinations targeting mafia leaders rocks the criminal underworld, giving rise to rumors of a mysterious organization known as Inferno and its deadliest assassin, Phantom.
While on a solo trip to the United States, a teenage boy finds himself face-to-face with this so-called Phantom—only to discover that she's a girl roughly his own age.
Stripped of his memories, the boy is taken in by Phantom and trained in the art of killing. As he learns, he grows into an assassin capable of standing alongside her, and is gradually drawn into the organization's conspiracies.
In this ruthless, lawless world, what will become of the two young assassins...?

▼About Phantom PHANTOM OF INFERNO
A Japanese tourist visiting the United States is kidnapped by a criminal organization and trained to become an assassin.
This is a neo-noir, gun-centric action story presented as a cinematic text-based visual novel.
First released for PC in 2000, it was followed by a DVD-PG version in 2001 and a PlayStation 2 release in 2003. In 2009, the TV anime "Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom," featuring additional original episodes based on the PC game's scenario, was broadcast. In 2012, an Xbox 360 version incorporating elements from the anime was released, followed by a full Windows port of that version in 2013.
*This game features the same content as the 2013 PC version.
▼Includes Elements From the TV Anime
All character designs and graphics have been updated to match the TV anime, with the same voice cast reprising their roles. Original episodes added in the anime are also included.
Whether you've played the original game, discovered the series through the anime, or are experiencing Phantom for the first time, this title provides a fresh and surprising experience for all.

1. Gen Urobuchi 2. they have finally made this super accessible in English buy it to grow the mutual positive feedback loop of solids being done in both directions
約15時間くらいで、全ED回収済み。 色んな条件で、かなり細かく分岐するので、攻略難度は高め。 自分は、8割くらい自分で全力攻略して、残りのよく分からなかったEDは、攻略情報を参考にしました。 NITRO ARCHIVEとしての攻略情報的なのは、まだ分からなかったので、過去発売されたPC版やXbox360版の情報を自分でかき集めて、やってました。 良かった点 アニメ的でも映画的でもあるビジュアル。 読みやすい文体。 BGM、サウンドなどの演出面。 悪かった点 複数分岐していく中で、同じような話の流れが複数キャラにあった。全くもって、見たことのあるイベントなのに、今回は違うキャラが取っている行動になるので、スキップも出来ない。(割と色んなビジュアルノベルにありがちだけど、あまり好きではない。この部分、言葉で説明がしにくいので、伝わってなかったら申し訳ない。) やっぱり、全体のボリュームは短い。自分的には割とのんびり進めて、この15時間が全ED回収にかかった時間なので、早い人はもっとテンポよくクリアできる。 全実績回収は、だいぶめんどくさそう。銃コンプっていうやつね。 総評 ゲーム版初見でも、めっっっちゃ面白いです。 価格以上には、楽しめました。 ニトロプラス作品に、外れなし。(個人的には)

一个字总结就是帅,三个字就是帅完了 没有辜负期待的体验,看得很开心。剧情全程无尿点节奏紧凑只是后劲不足,少了点余韵,总感觉和想的还是有点差距。都说是虚渊玄出道即巅峰之作,那这巅峰似乎没那么高,这样看我还是更喜欢虚别的作品 一直在闪退好生气。Nitro的vn系统一直不咋样,有些影响体验,包括不限于已读字体颜色区别不大,不同End重复的片尾曲不给跳过,有些显然重复的段落还是未读以及最严重的闪退问题,忍忍就算了但运气不好一小时能给我卡出去四次。还有就是晚上玩枪战超高频率闪白屏真受不了 但是是最喜欢的黑道杀手背景+虚渊玄,打戏人设音效画面所有一切都好帅啊原谅了,打戏量大管饱看的特别爽,系统音效弹壳落地上膛音超级性感,还学了很多(用不上的)各种枪和战斗知识[strike]和法拉利F40?![/strike] 男主的思维方式与行动力我还挺喜欢,尤其是在Ein线[strike]特别有夫妻相[/strike],有的时候幻视草薙素子,两个杀手浪迹天涯的感觉好爱。克罗蒂亚那边…也不是不能理解,因为写得好所以很容易接受这种情感。但小女孩卡尔就真的有点接受无能了XD完全爹带女儿既视感,这也能突发xxoo但毕竟是gal么。[spoiler] 时隔一年就长开了[/spoiler]也是槽点,这回确实长在xp上了但这个性格与价值观…实在是喜欢不来。后期的校园剧情莫名突兀,画风突变,玩的时候没太大感觉,回顾一下就觉得嗯?是不是有点怪 男主cg颜值时高时低,什么一口气抛掉15发子弹只留一发火拼,舞台上掏枪扫射,开法拉利突破隧道直升机也是帅得没边。唉天呐Phantom还是太帅了,说是没有余韵写到这边还是一直在回忆男主高光时刻。看得我中二之魂熊熊燃烧,好想继承饭桶之名 [i] 我不想活在没有你的世界里 [/i] 其余帅哥榜:No.1志贺 No.2马戈维亚 No.3罗梅洛
补票N+白月光,印象最深的还是凯尔线Bad End,悲壮到十几年后仍然影响深刻 ------- 快速回顾剧情到第一章结尾的时候绷不住了,因为我是真的三天两头在洛杉矶和盐湖城之间往返,也真的在盐湖城被偷过钱包
I never played any version of the game, just watched the anime back in the day, so I know what to expect. The game starts and run fine in Linux (at least the beginning section, I haven't gone further) but my biggest complaint would be the complete lack of controller support, so playing on Steam Deck would probably be quite annoying (I'll update after testing). Anyway I bought the game day 1 to support the cause but the experience could still be a bit better: I hope things will improve with patches but wouldn't bet on it. EDIT: Steam Cloud is not supported either, which would be a relatively easy fix for the devs too.
you're as beautiful as the day I lost you
Probably one of the best visual novels/eroge ever! I grows up reading the OG version and OG Tsukihime! The best!
Eins, Zwei, Drei hier kommt das Phantom! Finally available in English with a professional translation. Thought this would never come to the West but glad it did. Game runs great, highly recommended. Please support this official release so Nitroplus will bring over their other games to Steam.
I have purchased this game 4 times across different versions and platforms. This edition is a very abridged edit of the original, with new animation and voice acting finally available for English audiences. There is no 18+ patch as that content never existed in this specific abridged edition, There is still the implication of the act, instead of it being written out completely like other adaptations for other VN's have done. If you prefer a more verbose edition, there are fan translations and other editions of the original releases that include that content, but I would encourage you to play this edition first to see if you enjoy the story in a more condensed format before you go that far. For Linux support, running with proton GE compatibility mode has zero issues for this release, and is needed to enjoy the movies that are a part of the experience. This is one of my favorite VN's of all time. I strongly recommend this story, it has a mood of melancholy that is truly special. The themes of memory, identity, and surviving trauma carry this title. I do think the major weakness is the attempt at integrating real-world elements by an author who likely had only experienced these things through movies or reference articles, without any real-world experience. People who have any practical knowledge of cars, firearms, California traffic, or human anatomy, will need to turn their suspension of disbelief up to 11 for this one, If you can look past that, and focus on the core emotion, I think this story is still evergreen. The music that came out of the Phantom of Inferno project is some of my favorite, I recommend the soundtrack for the game, and the soundtracks from the associated anime that have come out over the years. If you are a fan of the OP/ED for this game, HASSY still performs and released a new album in 2024, and is active on youtube. I would love it if Nitro+ offered the soundtracks as a possibility for purchase as a DLC option here on steam. I hope that this release recruits many new fans of Phantom, and that more Nitro+ games come to the west. If you are reading this review, I hope you can enjoy this game, and can live a life full of joy and love, in spite of any hardships the world places on you.
这是我一生的挚爱 看到我的头像的话你就知道我的本命角色啦。 对我来说,Phantom不是视觉小说类型作品历史第一,但是我心中最佳,亦是我个人认为虚渊玄作品中最集大成的作品。 复杂的人物关系,痛苦、互相伤害又互相渴望的感情,以及一点恰到好处的作者恶趣味。Phantom就是这样的作品。 从2009年观看新版TV动画开始,我就深陷其中无法自拔,这些年来陆续购入了原版、Xbox版,然后就是补票了2026年的Steam版。非常感谢Nitro+给了我这样的玩家一个童年补票的机会,尤其是补上了官方中文。你们是最棒的。 然后就聊聊游戏体验吧。最让我惊讶的就是本作并非单纯的暴力移植。虽然画面分辨率依然是旧版水平,但是官方中文姑且算是可以更好的了解剧情内容,避免因为不同翻译用词不同造成的剧情误解。最大的惊喜应该是选枪界面,从旧版的列表改成了更具代入感的场景,我非常喜欢。 也希望有更多的玩家能看到本作,这部作品我真的非常希望有更多玩家了解,虚渊玄老师在游戏界的起点究竟是一部多么强大的作品,祝愿本作能够大卖。 以上,感谢所有Nitro+Origin的工作人员,以及所有热爱Phantom这部作品的玩家。Phantom 27周年快乐!
