Hunt ghosts, solve mysteries, and save everhollow

Phantom Bound is an action game. It blends light horror with exploration-based gameplay in a charming yet eerie ghost-hunting adventure. Set in the mysterious Shadowthorne Manor, players take on the role of Alex, a young ghost hunter tasked with investigating paranormal disturbances in the town of Everhollow

In Phantom Bound, using a specialized scanner called A.M.P.S., players must track, capture, and neutralize the ghostly entities haunting the manor. The game balances suspense and discovery, making it an enjoyable experience for both horror fans and those looking for a more approachable spooky adventure. 

Step into the manor 

In this Phantom Bound FPS game, the mansion is vast and filled with secrets. As players explore, they uncover hidden passageways, long-lost relics, and eerie remnants of the manor’s past. Each room presents new challenges, whether it’s solving puzzles, upgrading ghost-hunting equipment, or outmaneuvering particularly aggressive spirits. The game’s Metroidvania-like structure encourages backtracking, with new tools unlocking previously inaccessible areas. 

The art style is both cozy and atmospheric, creating a world that feels haunting without being overly terrifying. The ghosts vary in design, some are mischievous and playful, while others are more menacing. The sound design enhances the mood, with subtle whispers, creaking floors, and distant echoes adding layers of immersion. The combination of puzzle-solving, gadget-based upgrades, and an ever-expanding world makes every step through Shadowthorne Manor feel rewarding

Despite being a ghost-hunting game, the game avoids excessive horror elements, making it suitable for a wider audience. While some players may find the experience too lighthearted, its engaging mechanics, intriguing mysteries, and well-paced exploration make it a standout title. However, some of the players may find the gameplay too simplistic and some players may find pacing too slow at times. 

A cozy yet spooky adventure 

Phantom Bound offers a cozy yet eerie ghost-hunting adventure with Metroidvania-style exploration. Players investigate a haunted manor, using gadgets to capture spirits and uncover hidden secrets. It balances light horror with puzzle-solving and character upgrades, making exploration both engaging and rewarding. Its charming art style, immersive sound design, and gradual unlocking of new abilities create an experience that is spooky yet approachable, perfect for players who enjoy mystery and adventure.
