Prepare for a chilling world of paranormal investigations. A brand new trailer just dropped for Phantom Line. It's giving us serious goosebumps. This isn't your typical run-and-gun shooter. It's a 1-4 player co-op experience set in a hauntingly beautiful, yet devastated, post-nuclear Europe. Instead of just blasting mutants, your mission is far more intriguing: hunting anomalies.
Anomaly Hunting in Nuclear Winter
Phantom Line drops you into the boots of an elite spec-ops unit working for Mortfield Industries. Your playground is the "Iron Corridor," a region in Eastern Europe scarred by nuclear conflict. Forget predictable firefights. You are dealing with paranormal anomalies. These are strange unexplained events that were kept hidden from the public eye. The world itself is dynamic. It promises ever-shifting events that will keep you on your toes.
You have to survive. It's not just about ammo and health packs. Be resourceful. Scrounge up whatever gear you can get. Know your improvising skills well. Sometimes in wildlife, a hunt will ensure survival through that brutal environment.
H.U.S.K. Operatives: The Advantage of Ghost Frequency
Here's where Phantom Line gets really interesting. You're part of the H.U.S.K. Operator Simulation Program. This program lets you project your consciousness into artificial bodies called H.U.S.K.s. Think of them as expendable, tactical avatars. These aren't just extra lives. They're tools.
- Scout Ahead: Send a H.U.S.K. ahead to recon dangerous areas.
- Distract and Decoy: Use them to draw enemy fire or create diversions.
- Tactical Flexibility: Experiment with different H.U.S.K. abilities to outmaneuver and survive.
Trailer Action and a Chance to Playtest
Words can only do so much. You need to see it in action. Check out the new trailer below and watch the eerie atmosphere and intense gameplay of Phantom Line.

Icebreaker Base and Customization
Between anomaly hunts, your Icebreaker ship serves as your mobile base of operations. Here you can:
- Customize Your H.U.S.K.: Refine your spectral bodies for specific missions.
- Personalize Your Cabin: Show off the cool stuff you have found, and give your co-op crew something to brag about.
- Manage Your Loadout: Ready yourself for any mission by modifying gear and changing out H.U.S.K. configurations.
Release and Stay Current
As it stands, there's no fixed release date for Phantom Line. Currently, the team works on optimization for a stable 30fps at 1080p. Wishlist on Steam, join their Discord for updates, and potentially an open playtest someday. Watch this space. This co-op shooter could very well prove paranormal.
