Arachnophobe  alert! There be spiders in Phantasmal (and in the trailer below). How bad are they? Let’s just say that due to their presence, I turned down a review of the game.

Phantasmal Hits Steam Early Access – May 1, 2015

Phantasmal is a survival horror game in which the emphasis is on unpredictability. The game takes place in a randomly-generated world in which no two experiences are ever the same.

Direct combat is meant to be used as a last resort. Battling the creatures of Phantasmal will begin to suck your character’s sanity away (although I get the feeling that Eyemobi wouldn’t mind if you were to go totally insane). It’s much more advisable to be stealthy, resourceful, and quick-witted.

Kickstarter-funded Phantasmal is now available for PC on Steam at a 20% discount until April 21st. VR versions of the game are in the pipeline, and an XBox One release is planned for mid-2016.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
