It has been over a year since the release of Phantom Project and despite the unsuccessful crowdfunding attempts, we sincerely thank all of the players who supported the game in its prototype state and kept the company afloat. Our game development journey continues and it is all thanks to you.
Phantom Project is labor-intensive in terms of game development due to the massive interior setting. It is due to this design decision that the full game cannot be made with little to no resources. However, we looked at our roadmap of games that we want to create and there are titles that can be created with minimal resources so we started pre-production last April and will slowly transition to production next year. Moreover, Phantom Project will no longer be updated in the future as we need to focus on the next title.
To the generous Indiegogo patrons of Phantom Project who took a leap of faith and believed in us, all of our future digital products will be available to you for free and if you purchased the credits perk, your name will be in the credits of every future game that we create. We still owe you so we'll make your faith in us worth something to be proud of in our next title.
To the good people who translated the game for free and to the players who purchased Phantom Project and gave us a positive review before this day, you will receive a free digital copy of the next game including all DLCs. Please note that the players did not know this beforehand and this will only be done once since we do not bribe players for positive reviews. Please preserve the email addresses and Steam accounts that you used to reach us.
There will be a trailer for our next title near the end of 2023 or early 2024 so please stay tuned by subscribing to our YouTube channel.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Astravelari Team

Free to Paid
Greetings paranormal investigators!
Phantom Project will change from free to paid at the end of the Indiegogo campaign on December 12, 2021 to help keep the company afloat. We will relaunch the campaign shortly after if permitted to allow players to support the full game's production. Future updates will be completely dependent on the support from players as they are the lifeblood of any company and project.
We are currently crowdfunding at Indiegogo to develop the full game. If you enjoyed the prototype and wish to see more of Phantom Project, please support us at www.astravelari.com. We will also be uploading Developer Videos on YouTube so please subscribe to our channel.
