More or less, the update brings: Performance optimizations Updated lighting and visual presentation across most scenes Upgraded tutorial during the first level Many QoL and under-the-hood improvements, movement should feel more consistent now Upgrades to the main menu navigation UX Slight UI upgrades here and there FMV audio volume should now apply correctly.

| Version 1.34 | 2024-03-19 | Hey everyone! Long time no see. Patch 1.34 brings some fixes and updates: Enabled Languages menu in the options, for the forthcoming translations Added Croatian translation Added a particle effect for the Conductor's teleportation ability Fixed trigger of the ghostly face in the train Minor QoL and backend changes Camera movement should be more consistent during framerate dips Scripting fixes, game shouldn't fall apart if it can't find the things it needs anymore... hopefully All settings should auto-load properly now All aboard! |
| Hotfix 1.33 | 2024-01-17 | Hey everyone! Been a while. Hope you've been well for the holiday season, now it's time we all got back to work. This is a simple hotfix of a bug I wasn't aware existed.

| The grand release day! | 2023-12-08 | Hello everyone! Thank you for buying Phantoms and giving it a shot. I hope you'll enjoy it. It's been a fascinating journey finally getting a game I made on Steam. Not to mention that the Steamworks system is an absolute joy to work with. All in all, I'm super satisfied, thus I hope you guys will enjoy the game; I sure enjoyed making it. To celebrate the release, I'm also starting a dev-log YouTube series where I'll be talking about this game, how it came to be, nuances in its design and whatnot. Eventually, of course, I'll talk about some other projects as well. That's about it. Whenever there's content updates for Phantoms (there are some s |
