So, what can you expect in Phantom Line?
In this latest game from Antistatic Studios, expect to take on the role of THE OPERATOR. You are in an elite spec-op unit working for Mortfield Industries, a megacorp that 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. Use H.U.S.K.s in your tactics: scout, distract, decoy, or utilize many other strategies and commands to gain an advantage over anything in the way.
What do you have to fight?
There are things called anomalies. Hidden from the public, our world is full of paranormal creatures and phenomena dubbed “anomalies.” Leaking into our world through rifts in the space-time fabric, these threats to humanity grow each day. Containing these extremely dangerous events requires the most elite Operators.
In terms of equipment, this is what you should expect at your base. A nuclear Icebreaker ship will be your base of operations. Customize your H.U.S.K. and cabin, showcase your weapons and armor to your friends, modify your gear and body. Get briefed on a main deck for your next anomaly hunt.
As for the world, well, it’s dark. 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. Hunt and cook wild animals to maintain optimal health.
