Phasmonauts Demo Update
+ Early Access Announcement!
A new update is now live for the Phasmonauts demo!

This update adds a few things I've been working toward for a while:
Saving: Your progress can now be saved between runs.
Ouija Board: Lost a character? You can now try to summon them back... if you're brave enough.
New Tutorial: A new tutorial has been added to help make sure your first expedition is successful.
And now for the big news...
Phasmonauts is coming to Early Access on October 29th!
I'm really excited to finally have a date to share. There's still a lot I want to add, improve, and polish, and Early Access will be a huge part of that process. I'm building Phasmonauts as a solo indie developer, and I'm looking forward to bringing you along for the rest of the journey.

If you've played the demo, thank you for checking it out. Your feedback has already helped shape the game more than you probably realize.

If you haven't played yet, now's a great time to jump in!

Update Highlights
Apparition Overhaul
The Apparition now pays much closer attention to player behavior. Actions such as improper kills, reckless movement, and other disruptive choices will increase its aggression throughout the match.
Weapon Caches
Weapons are no longer handed out freely. Hidden caches can now be discovered throughout the map, including hollow tree stumps and disturbed graves. Exploration is now the primary way to expand your arsenal beyond the starting pistol.
Rest Rooms
New pond-side rest areas have been added across the map, offering a brief respite from the hunt.
Purchase upgrades from picnic baskets
Recover health at campfires
Regroup before pushing deeper into the wilderness
HUD Overhaul
The interface has been completely redesigned to prioritize important information while reducing visual clutter. The result is a cleaner, more readable experience.
Storage System Improvements
Lockers and storage containers have been reworked and should now function reliably without the issues present in previous builds.
Enemy Progression & Balance
Enemy spawning has received a major balance pass.
Improved overall spawn pacing
Mutants are now easier to identify through skull particle effects
Reduced excessive mutant spawn chains
Secret Craftables
[REDACTED]
Quality of Life
Items can no longer drift outside of the playable map area
Various gameplay improvements and polish
Bug Fixes
General bug fixes and stability improvements

Phasmonauts Demo Launches October 24th!
Mark your calendars, the free demo for Phasmonauts arrives October 24th!
Grab your gear, rally your crew, and step into the woods to uncover which cryptid is haunting the campsite. Find 3 clues, piece together the evidence, and face off against the monster that lurks in the dark.
Investigate with Every Tool You’ve Got...
You’ll use both traditional ghost-hunting gear like the EMF Reader and Spirit Journal,
and some... less conventional methods - ever use concrete to catch a ghost?
Choose Your Phasmonaut
Each character offers a different playstyle and set of perks:
Mae – Lightning-fast with low health. Double-dash and slow sanity loss.
Otis – Ammo specialist for automatic weapons; medium sanity drain.
Isaiah – Marksman with pistols; deals +30% pistol damage.
Champ – Tanky powerhouse. Slow, but deadly - his Comet Dash damages enemies on impact.
Earn Souls. Unlock Sigils. Power Up.
Vacuum up spirits to collect souls, then trade them for sigils - powerful upgrades that let you build your ideal hunter. Experiment with new playstyles each run and see how far you can push your luck before the cryptid finds you.
Face the Unknown
Once you’ve uncovered the truth, prepare for a challenging boss encounter that will test everything you’ve learned.
Thank you all for your patience while I’ve been radio silent. I’ve been hard at work getting this demo ready for you to play, and I can’t wait to see your reactions when it drops on October 24th.
