Phantom Line – Public Playtest
The world is not a safe place anymore. There are more anomalies appearing each day – supernatural activity hidden from the public eye. We face a nuclear war, but you've always been able to improvise. Study your surroundings, plan, prepare, and adjust tactics. The Organization is counting on you. Wield the husks for the cause. Explore new elements of the game, including Mortfield's training facility for H.U.S.K.'s Operators and new anomalies that will appear across the open-world map. Venture into space-time and fight new types of enemies, solve new mysteries, and overcome new challenges. Board the nuclear icebreaker and make it your base of operations.
After rebuilding everything from the ground up, we have addressed the feedback from our previous playtest by completely overhauling the 3Cs (Character, Camera, and Controls). New animations, a rewritten movement and interaction system, and an improved camera system deliver smooth, precise controls that make every action feel deliberate and immersive. Paired with a new advanced spatial audio system and refreshed world biomes and weather, this brings Phantom Line to a new level of first-person experience.
In the process, we hunted down a ton of bugs and resolved key pain points from our previous playtest, optimized the world environment, and improved networking for smoother gameplay. We are not finished yet; this is still a game in development, and we look forward to further optimizing the game as we approach launch.
