New screenshots from Phantaruk and the genesis of the game
June 21, 2016

Before we start, check out the ​new screenshots pack available to ​download here​. An official trailer is going to be available by the end of June.
The game is an FPP survival horror that offers a stunning visual and audio experience. The player - a victim of expertiments - lands on board of the spaceship Purity02, which is the cradle of research carried out in this field by H+ Corporation. The idyll ends when we realize that Purity02 is an almost completely deserted, deadly trap. A mythical beast of the mysterious name Phantaruk roams the ship’s corridor. The player's only goal is to survive in this immersive environment which will haunt you long after you have finished playing.
“When designing locations we aimed for the feeling of claustrophobia, we wanted to corner the player just like Dead Space did. Purity-02 is dirty, dark and full of heavy atmosphere. The engineering sections are composed of steel and rust but on the other hand we have medical and administration quarters which are very, very bloody. There is a lot of tight corridors and some open space areas which make confrontations with the enemy much more exciting”, says the main designer of the game, Patryk Polewiak.
It all started in Cracow, Poland, with a simple idea for a horror game. Patryk Polewiak and Draco Nared worked in the game industry before so this wasn't their first project, but this was the one they have always wanted to make. They have started working on Phantaruk after hours and soon another madcap joined the posse. Dawid Ciślak was a lead cinematic artist at Reality Pump at that time. Their efforts have been appreciated at Digital Dragons 2015 and they knew that Phantaruk had to be set loose.
This is how Polyslash was born with the help of a company called PlayWay, which had experience with helping small, promising game developers. Polyslash have opened their office in Cracow's Technology Park, next to companies like Nokia and Motorola. Polyslash were the first tenants of the building. Crew of four expanded to eight and Phantaruk began to grow in the shadows of their minds, their scetchbooks and their computers. After 2 years of hard work it is ready to be set free on the world...
FEATURES:
● Find and use medical syringes to get rid of the toxins in your body which raise your pulse – if it gets too high, you will die.
● Be on the constant lookout for batteries – without them your flashlight won't work and you will get lost in the darkness.
● Survive in first person perspective, hide when in danger, crawl through ventilation shafts and peek around the corners to see what hides in the shadows.
● Discover the mystery of Purity-02 by reading notes left behind by the ship's crew.

I do enjoy a bit of space-horror now and then - looks interesting.
