Anomaly Horror Returns With ‘Captured II’ Later This Year [Trailer]
Puck Redflix is back with their follow-up to their 2024 anomaly-hunting horror title Captured with the sequel, Captured II, which is set for a Q4 2025 release on Steam. The anomaly horror game “with a survival horror twist” sees players once again trapped in their apartment, facing an endless hallway while surviving deadly entities.
Inspired by analog and found footage horror movies such as Skinamarink, liminal spaces, and early 2000s supernatural horror, Captured II puts players in the role of Emily, a teenage girl who goes missing during a series of unexplained disappearances. Emily finds herself trapped in an endless procedurally-generated hallway within her own apartment, slowly losing her memory.
Strange anomalies begin to appear, and by capturing them, Emily is able to retrieve glimpses of her forgotten past. However, deadly entities, taking the form of Emily’s childhood toys, roam the loops to stop her from uncovering the truth. Emily must use her flashlight, camera, and the doors in her apartment to survive.
Complimenting the gameplay in Captured II is VHS aesthetic, combined with the goal of isolation and the eerie feeling of being home alone in the late 90s. The game also features a dynamic camera system, and “immersive flashlight movement.” As mentioned, the entities you’ll face take on the form of childhood toys, each with their own unique traits and mechanics.
In case you missed out on pre-orders last October for Lost In Cult and Kinetic Games’ Deluxe Edition of Phasmophobia: The Board Game, not to worry. Limited pre-orders for the Deluxe Edition are once again available, but you’ve got to be fast.
As mentioned, the board game first launched for pre-order in October 2025, with the Deluxe Edition selling out almost immediately thanks to its exclusive ephemera and glow-in-the-dark silver ink detailing. This time around, if you’re the really wanting to splurge, you can spring for the limited Signed Edition, which includes the Deluxe Edition of the board game, but with an added card hand-signed by the Kinetic Games team.
This one is even more limited, as there are only 2500 units available.

-
3 additional ghost standees with acrylic bases
-
20+ page behind-the-scenes book about the Phasmophobia video game

Phasmophobia: The Board Game adapts the hit video game into a tabletop adventure for 1-4 players. Developed in official collaboration with Kinetic Games and created by Lost In Cult, you’ll equip your team with iconic gear and cursed possessions as you investigate the haunted property.
Build a haunted property, full of unpredictable, randomised items. Then, draw a Ghost Type card from the Investigation File. Each Ghost has its own powers, paired with an evidence pool randomised for each playthrough, offering a terrifying challenge for even the most seasoned ghost hunters.
Using the Ghost Behavior board the ghost’s actions become unpredictable, driven by abilities presenting ever-changing challenges that take a psychological toll. The threat escalates as your sanity deteriorates, giving way to more aggressive and dangerous manifestations. So make sure you prepare before heading inside: equip your team with the best ghost hunting equipment found in your Van.
Venture into the residence to uncover cursed possessions and ghostly phenomena before, at last, arriving at the Ghost Room.
The Deluxe Edition of Phasmophobia: The Board Game will begin shipping out Q4 2026.
