About the game

Phantom Project is a psychological horror game that encourages you to put your deerstalker on and unravel the supernatural mysteries around you. This game is a prototype and is subject to major changes and improvements.
Description from the Steam store page.

The value story

Across all 19 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 13 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 19 percent on value. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sorry We're Closed ($24.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats DreadOut ($14.99, scores 38).
