Antistatic Studios :

PHANTOM LINE is a co-op (1-4 players) horror shooter set in the post-nuclear European continent. Your mission is to search for and contain paranormal events and activities (anomalies) hidden from the public eye in an open-world map full of dynamic events.

THE OPERATOR - You are in an elite spec-op unit, working for a megacorp called Mortfield Industries, which gave you a second chance. You‘ve been selected for the Operator Simulation Program called H.U.S.K. where you can transfer your consciousness between artificial bodies. Tactically employ these bodies: scout, distract, place decoys, or utilize many other strategies and commands to gain an advantage over the lurking horrors known as….

ANOMALIES - The world is full of paranormal creatures and phenomena called anomalies hidden from the public. Leaking into our world through rifts in the space-time fabric, the threat to humanity grows each day. Containing these extremely dangerous events requires the most elite Operators.

WORLD - Nuclear war has just broken out, and you are sent to the disputed Iron Corridor - an Eastern European region torn by international tensions. Operators need to be self-sufficient should they become cut off. Improvise as necessary: use any resources available, gear up, and adjust your tactics to the situation on the ground.

Humanity is at war, and you are on the frontlines as its last defense. Wield the H.U.S.K.s for the cause. Become the ultimate anomaly hunter. Now… go die again.

In-Lore Report

CONTINUED LEAKS OF THE “PHANTOM LINE” CODENAMED ██████████ FROM ANTISTATIC STUDIO

Date: ██████████

Subject: NECESSARY AND IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUEST TO MITIGATE FURTHER LEAKS 

Recipient: ██████████, ██████████ VP of Far East Security, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan 

██████████-san

Subjects, the developers of “PHANTOM LINE,” have continued revealing confidential information that endangers our great interest. 

We have exhausted all soft methods of influencing the subjects' actions. Subjects remain determined to deliver the game, which, in reality, is a medium for the widespread exposure of Mortfield's activities.

Subjects have actively made the Operator Simulation Program available to unvested recipients, posing it as regular interactive entertainment software. This risks exposing sensitive research at an unprecedented scale.

Subjects have been recruiting new members to their digital community on the Discord platform. We have been blocking the traffic using ████████████████████ Solutions, but it continues to reconnect.

Our proxy at ██████ Corporation has refused to cooperate and purge the platform of any references, leaving us with no other choice but to replace them. I would request you to assess local proxies and make necessary replacements.

Acting in accordance with the ████████████████████ protocol, as well as the subject’s best interest, the ████████████████████ committee has approved educational isolation of the core subject, ████████████████ ██████ AKA █████, to prevent further irresponsible behavior. 

We request that the COURIERS team be deployed ASAP to collect and deliver the subject to the ███████████ ███████████ facility for initial treatment. 

NOTE: According to our intel, the subject has been active under the  ███.███.███.██ IP address from ███████████ █████  █████████████, 東京, JP. 

NOTE: We are expecting the subject to be delivered in a condition allowing for resocialization. 

VP of Global Security, Philadelphia, PA, US
