Description

 

Oliver Cobblestone can see and communicate with a dead. Not the dead, just a one Englebert Picklebender who has been in an ethereal entanglement with Oliver for many years. Together they run The Phantom Fellows, a paranormal investigation service that provides the breathers that hire them peace from hauntings, while bringing closure and rest to the floaters who torment the living, and often, themselves. 

Take control of Oliver and Englebert in this point and click adventure comedy as you explore the town of Elderberry, Colorado and spend 7 days in the life of The Phantom Fellows. Share laughs with the living and the respiratorily challenged in a game where exploration is rewarded and there is more to the story than meets the eye. 

Use Oliver's ability to... be alive, or switch to Englebert if the physical world is in the way. Negotiate with spirits, some of which seek closure, others a long lost possession and even some who just enjoy a good pranking- I mean, haunting. Don't forget to also provide proof of service to the breather that hired you, they will need more than Oliver's word for it and seeing is believing! 

Throughout your week with The Phantom Fellows you will meet many breathers, plenty of floaters and as you navigate through each day's task, something more malevolent begins lurking in the shadows, with it's eye on Oliver and an aim set on something bigger, something... otherworldly. 
 

  • Narrative based adventure game where the writing and the story come first.  
  • Hand-drawn pixel art and animations!   
  • Walk or float around the environments, freely explore the world you're in.   
  • Switch between Oliver and Englebert! Sometimes being dead has its perks. Maybe. Switching between the two unlocks in Day 2.   
  • 7 Playable Days: Each day features it's own goals and characters, while an over-arcing story builds to an unavoidable confrontation!   
  • Fast Travel Map: Unlocks in Day 3, freely explore the town of Elderberry, revisit the location of previous days for more interactions, world building and alternative puzzle solutions!   
  • Real World Puzzle Reasoning: Some puzzles have alternate solutions based on simple reasoning- you never have to leave the location of the day, but if you saw something in a previous day's location that would help you in your current day, you can go get it and use it!   
  • Dialog-based Hint System: Englebert often plays the role of mentor to Oliver. You can speak to him for advice on what to do, and he will give you hints with increasing levels of detail, along with the option to have him stop so you may take as much or as little help as you wish.   
  • Hotspot Heaven: It's all clickable! Oliver and Englebert will look at and interact with everything and provide you with unique lines, laughter and world building, for doing so.   
  • Dual Controls: Optimized for easy, keyboard based control, while maintaining the option to instead point and click.

This game will haunt you, in a good way!

This was one of my games of the year in 2024, and being a playtester I got to share in its creation. It's truly a labour of love which doesn't leave any pixel unturned, in other words you can interact with pretty much everything to your heart's content! The story follows the exploits of the "fellows" with some of the greatest names in adventure gaming, Oliver Cobblestone and Englebert Picklebender ;) To get the most out of the game it's best not to rush through it and take the time to appreciate all the attention to detail and banter between Oliver and Englebert, and maybe even get the grand total of all 100 achievements!? It's been almost a year since this game released and it still holds a special place for me and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking to get haunted, in a good way ;)

Not my cup of tea

Basically charming and funny, and the graphics kind of in the style of "Darkside Detective". But here, there are more opjects and for that the graphic is not suited, you don't recognice them well. And I didn't like the writing, too often it was "what are they talking about". Maybe it is some kind of humor but not really for me. Also, the puzzles are often not too comprehensive.
