About
Phantoms is a first-person horror game that takes place on a strange train. You're on route to see your old friend Floyd, but all of a sudden, you sense something's not quite right. What was a simple, relaxing train ride mere moments ago, transforms into a hunting ground in a blink of an eye... and you're the prey.
The game takes inspiration from retro PlayStation™ graphics and aesthetics, combined with analogue horror and a hint of eldritch mystery. No two levels ever play the same as the layout of the train, and the items you need to collect, are randomized every time. Phantoms offers five story levels (the final one being hidden in conjunction with the secret ending), a custom level mode and two potential endings to the story.

Amazingly simply yet memorable game play loop where you must travel between two train car realities and fix engines. The dev is very friendly and I 100% recommend this game.
[b][i]Hardcore, dynamic Survival Horror with Roguelike elements and retro aesthetics of PlayStation-era games. You need to escape from hellish train.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/aOngGUTso7o You rode the train to visit a friend. Suddenly, your train carriage turns into hell, filled with phantoms and traps. The game has 5 levels and different endings. At each level, you need to find items and fix the electrical panel to unlock the door and escape from the train. Various obstacles, ghosts and the train conductor, who turns into a monster and wanders along the corridor, will hinder you. If the conductor catches you, he will kill you, and you will have to start the current level from the beginning. The environment, the location of items and phantoms change with each restart. You can only carry one item at a time! You can hide from the conductor at the ends of the carriage or in any compartment (he does not go there). At the first level, you just need to avoid the conductor, find two items, take them to the electrical panel, and then run to the door at the other end of the carriage. Then the gameplay gets more complicated: you need to bring more items and you can't stand in one place for too long (after a few seconds, phantoms attack you anywhere in the carriage).

Моя кураторская страница "Достойные или нет херроры" - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43715729/ Phantoms – захватывающий хоррор, выполненный в ретро-стилистике, с интригующей историей, которая не раскрывается полностью, уступая место игровому процессу. Если описать игру кратко – это проект, основанный на одной механике: прятки в разных купе поезда от «главного» противника. Сюжет повествует о человеке, отправляющемся на поезде навестить своего друга, которого не видел давно. В городе ходят слухи о странных исчезновениях людей, и число таких случаев растет. Неожиданно, атмосферная и спокойная поездка превращается в кошмар – поезд меняется, в нем появляются обезображенные трупы, всё сковано кровавой и ржавой колючей проволокой, а выход оказывается заблокированным. Двери автоматические, и для их ремонта нужно найти различные инструменты, в то время как вас преследует монстр-контроллер и другие «монстры». Может показаться, что проект – обычная бродилка на Unity с записками и джампскейрами, но это не так. В игре четыре уровня плюс один секретный, где вам нужно починить двери в вагоне, отыскивая рандомно раскиданные по вагону предметы. Геймплей заключается в следующем: вы исследуете вагон, быстро прячетесь в купе, если на вас идет противник, и ищете необходимые предметы. С каждым этапом сложность растет, поскольку можно носить только по одному предмету, что заставляет несколько раз проверять вагон и избегать врага. Сложность игры заключается в том, что на более поздних стадиях долгое пребывание на месте приводит к геймоверу с джампскейром. Таким образом, к концу игра становится проверкой вашей реакции и немного удачи. Если вы умерли, весь вагон генерируется заново, и все предметы находятся в разных местах. Игра удивляет своим дизайном, напоминающим Silent Hill, неплохим звуковым сопровождением и, главное, пугает неожиданными джампскейрами. Это один из тех проектов, где всё зависит от постоянного движения, ограниченной видимости и громких пугалок. В игре есть две концовки, включая одну секретную, и хотелось бы больше истории, так как развязка действительно интересная, но самой истории мало, хотя у проекта есть потенциал рассказать захватывающую историю. Phantoms – атмосферный хоррор с приятной ретро-графикой, фокусирующийся на игре в прятки от противников и сборе предметов, с неплохими джампскейрами и потенциально интересной историей, которая уходит на второй план. Если вы любите короткие хорроры с простым, но увлекательным геймплеем, обожаете джампскейры и ретро-графику – то вы отлично проведете время. Тем более, цена вполне разумная.
While I enjoy the PS1 aesthetic, the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired since you're relying on luck to complete each level. You need to repair an electrical box to escape the wagon you're trapped in, but there are several factors with absurd mechanics impeding your progress. The conductor can spawn almost anywhere at any time instantly ending your run, there's an entity that will attack you if you linger in any of the "safe areas" for too long, and even the flayed bodies in some of the "safe areas" can end the protagonist's attempt without warning. I appreciate the setting and the look of Phantoms, but the gameplay quickly transforms into frustration as you hope for a lucky attempt where everything works out.
Ovo se dogodilo mom prijatelju Ivanu na relaciji Zagreb-Koprivnica.
This game made me jump several times, but in a way that didn't feel cheap. I love the PS1 graphics and the overwhelming sound blasting your eardrums constantly. My only gripe is the randomness, in particular the teleporting train conductor. You can watch him walk away then die because he's just spawned on top of you, which can be frustrating as it reduces to game to luck over skill. Still, definitely recommended if you want a simple premise with a lot of bite. It keeps you coming back for that "Just one more time" attempt.
6.6/10 Juego curioso. Es de esos que dices "me siendo raro jugándolo" ya que es divertido, con un poco de terror, pero también te acostumbras rápido a las mecánicas. Me sentí como esos juegos en 2D donde hay que avanzar esquivando una bolita que va y viene, pero trasladado a un escenario 3D. Creo que si es un poco caro para el precio, pero no deja de ser divertido. Lo termino recomendando porque no es un mal juego, pero considero que no uno que sea de mi estilo y que me emocione jugarlo.
If you are looking for a simplistic PS1-era graphics, looping, item retrieval, and loud noises, then look no further. The sound design was done really well, I enjoyed how the story was unfolding with each level (plus learning more information from Floyd as you go). However, the last level was just a little too challenging for me (even with some lucky RNG rolls) and never got to complete it. I will edit this if I go back and try again. EDIT: Completely forgot to mention the AI of the Conductor. He would disappear after passing a doorway of a room i hid in, id run out going the opposite direction, and he'd be sitting there waiting for me. Also the AI spawning inside of the ends of the hallway right as you approach them with dumb luck/timing really sucks lol
Esse e um jogo para você se preocupar! Não olhe para traz, não fique somente em um lugar, procure o que não deveria ser achado, cuidado com aqueles que andam, OLHA A VOADORA!!! Jogo de tática, olhe, procure e se esconda, se gosta disso, ele e para você!
Game is great. Super fun. A constant challenge. a beautifully crafted environment. The DEVs are really great people. This game is worth its success 💛 - Mossenn
