Why Early Access?

“After releasing the game with a few updates in the line, we want the community to get more involved with helping make decisions for how the game is going to be directed.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re targeting a full release of Phantom’s Estate around July 2026. However, this timeline may shift based on the pace of content updates, as our focus is on delivering a polished and complete experience. For now, our goal remains set on 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Phantom’s Estate will deliver the core gameplay experience, focusing on multiplayer ghost investigations with essential mechanics such as evidence collection, sanity effects, and a functional co-op mode. It will include a selection of maps, ghost types, and equipment to provide a polished yet limited experience aimed at gathering valuable player feedback.

For the full version, our goal is to significantly expand the game by adding more maps, a wider variety of ghost types, advanced AI, a Money System, additional contracts, and new story elements. We also plan to enhance player customization, introduce progression systems, and implement various other features based on community suggestions. During Early Access, we’ll prioritize optimizations and improvements, refining the game based on feedback without a strict order for feature releases. Ultimately, we aim to create a richer, more varied, and complete gameplay experience for the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Phantom's Estate offers a complete and fully-playable multiplayer experience. Dive into multiple haunted locations, each with its own distinct atmosphere and chilling surprises. Encounter a variety of ghost types with unique behaviors, using an array of paranormal equipment to uncover their secrets. Every investigation offers a fresh challenge, with dynamic ghost interactions and a sanity system that keeps players on edge. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, there’s plenty of thrilling gameplay to keep you immersed from the start.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price of Phantom's Estate will increase as we add more content and features throughout Early Access. As we approach the full release, we aim to reflect the expanded experience with a price adjustment. However, once the game exits Early Access, the price will remain fixed, so players can enjoy the full game at the final release price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Phantom's Estate. Your feedback, suggestions, and discussions will help us push the game to its fullest potential. We’re deeply committed to making this a collaborative experience, with updates and changes driven by what you, the players, truly want. Our Discord community will be the hub of all this interaction, where you can share your ideas, engage in discussions, and participate in regular surveys and questionnaires. Together, we’ll craft a game that continues to evolve, based on the voice of the community.”
