Phobopetra

PHOBOPETRA
Antarctica, 1962.
An expedition reveals something special under the ice.
When Captain Arthur awakens, he finds himself inside a strange manor that should not exist. The world around him feels familiar — yet something is deeply wrong.
A mysterious artifact known as the Phobopetra may be the key to understanding what happened.
But the deeper Arthur goes, the less certain everything becomes.
PHOBOPETRA is an atmospheric psychological mystery game (inspired by exploration-driven titles like Outer Wilds) where knowledge is your only tool to unravel a shifting world.
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE?
A mysterious light reveals things that should remain hidden.
A woman's voice tries to reach you.
And something else may be watching from the shadows.
Each of them seems to have an explanation.
Each of them may have a reason to lie.
There is no narrator telling you what is real.
You will have to decide for yourself.
DISCOVER THE TRUTH — YOUR WAY
Explore the manor and uncover its secrets at your own pace.
Read notes, examine objects, listen carefully, and piece together fragments of a story scattered throughout the world. You may discover crucial information long before you understand what it means.
The order in which you find the clues is up to you.
But be careful:
Not everything you discover should be trusted.
A WORLD THAT CHANGES AROUND YOU
Reality does not remain still.
Strange events, shifting spaces and impossible discoveries blur the line between memory, perception and reality.
The more you uncover, the more you may begin to question not only the world around Arthur —
but Arthur himself.
YOUR CHOICES MATTER
What you believe can change what you do.
And what you do can change how the story ends.
There may be no perfect answer.
Only the answer you choose to believe.
Who do you trust?
What is real?
And if you finally discover the truth… will you want to accept it?
