Hello everyone!

After nearly 4 years of development, The Phantom Fellows is now available! I've poured my heart and soul into every single line of dialog, every pixel, musical note and line of scripting - and I've had the best 4 years of my life making this game.

If you play, I hope it brings you much laughter and fulfillment :)

The Phantom Fellows has heart, lots of laughter and provides endless rewards for the players exploration. Taking place over 7 Days, with each day it's own case, you'll be able to take control over Oliver (the breather) and Englebert (the floater), switching between them to utilize their strengths. The game features a travel map that opens the world up, allowing players to travel back to previous locations where they can find alternate solutions to current puzzles and be rewarded with fresh interactions and laughs. There is also an in-game, dialog based hint system which has a very natural, conversational feel since Englebert already plays the role of mentor to Oliver. The hints are delivered one at a time and the player can chose how much or how little help they want.

The Phantom Fellows features observational and situational humor that is incredibly authentic and unique, while also providing satisfying character arcs, an over-arcing story that slowly comes to a boil for the final day and it handles the subject of death with a certain grace that balances comedy and philosophy in a way that leaves the player with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment. Each and every single line of dialog, every pixel and musical note was shown love and care in a way that only a solo developer in love with adventure games can provide.

You're invited to explore the world, interact with hundreds of unique hotspots, dozens of characters and see the dead come to life, in The Phantom Fellows!

Has it been four years already? I remember playing the demo back then and having a good time with it. Congratulations on the release! I hope for success for you. I'll add the game to my long queue of games to play.  ;)

Congrats on the release!
Since I saw the ad for this game on Adventure Gamers for a long time, I assumed it was already out  (laugh)

The premise sounds a bit like the Blackwell series.

Very atmospheric graphics.
