Only a fool would sheathe their weapon now. Not in this darkness. Not in this forest. Not on this journey. In the darkness, the crimson smears across your blade glint in the moonlight-you’ve not had time to take proper care. No time to rest. A snapping

Created as a way to help fund a much more ambitious project, Phantoms is a simple yet challenging game that is guaranteed to involve a lot of dying on the part of your character.The plot is light and the gameplay is repetitive, but the game is strewn with subtle changes between levels that give hints about the situation and create a good sense of intrigue that can engage those players who enjoy looking
