If you’re in the market for something spooky and scary with the unforgiving nature of a roguelike, the pool of games you have to choose from has been steadily growing thanks to games like Bloodborne, Darkwood and Our Darker Purpose, among others.
The latest to try and scratch that particular itch is Phantasmal: City of Darkness, and unlike the other titles I just mentioned, this one fits much more snugly in the genre of survival horror.
Set in the early 90s, back when Kowloon was still a walled city, the goal is to scavenge for precious resources that can aid in your survival against the legion of nightmarish creatures that populates the enclosed city. With procedurally generated environments and a sanity system inspired by Amnesia, Phantasmal is a unique blend of classic mechanics and modern ideas.
Phantasmal is available now on Steam Early Access for $14.99.
