Turkey Shoot

Are you ready to battle the forces of evil once again in our Thanksgiving update that pits our squad of plucky heroes against... zombie turkeys? Of course, some genius decided to start a turkey farm on an ancient native burial ground leading to some... interesting results.

An outbreak of zombie turkeys has broken out across our haunted mansion which is threatening to spoil the whole festive season for everyone. So, gather your team and ready your plates because it's open season on zombie turkeys. Happy Thankskilling!

Just remember to bring a flashlight or it might be the turkey eating you this Thanksgiving!


To celebrate the day of giving thanks we'll be discounting Phantom Halls by 22% from 21st Nov to 27th Nov so all you slayers who haven't quite taken the plunge yet can get a turkey of a deal and join us in our monster hunting pursuits this Thanksgiving.

Join Evil Dead's Ash Williams and the rest of the gang as they try to carve up some festive turkey and put an end to the zombie menace that plagues our haunted mansion.

Until next time, RIP folks!

OUT NOW!

We're dead happy to finally announce the full release of Phantom Halls this Halloween! We couldn't think of a better time to reveal our spooky survival horror to the world.

It's been one hell of a journey taking Phantom Halls from Early Access all the way to full release. Thanks to those of you who have followed along with us in our ambition to create a fun and challenging comedy horror that pays homage to the classics.

So, squad up and survive the night, but remember Slayers, don't forget to bring a flashlight!

Also, please let us know your thoughts on the game and leave us a review. You'll have our eternal gratitude!


Community feedback over our Early Access period has really helped shape Phanom Halls into the game we are releasing today and we want that to continue. Work doesn't stop here and your feedback is always valuable to us.

So get involved, whether that be through social media or right here on Steam, such as leaving a Glowing review or comment, know that we appreciate it.



The full release features:

• 13 playable characters
  
• 24+ enemy types
  
• 50+ weapons & items
  
• 7 environments, Including the infamous Cabin from the Evil Dead series

And all this is all available day 1! We, of course, also intend to keep expanding and improving the game as we have done over the last year.
