Our take on The Phantom Fellows
The defining structure is a seven-day paranormal investigation in which a living medium and his ghostly partner handle separate daily cases while an overarching threat develops.
What is The Phantom Fellows?
Play as Oliver Cobblestone, a living medium who can communicate with one ghost: Englebert Picklebender.
Together, they operate a paranormal investigation service in Elderberry, Colorado, helping living clients and spirits with hauntings, unfinished business, lost possessions, and pranks. The point-and-click adventure unfolds across 7 playable days, each with its own objectives and characters while a larger story develops. Explore locations, examine interactive objects, negotiate with spirits, and gather proof for clients. From Day 2, control can switch between Oliver and Englebert to address situations involving the physical or ethereal world. A fast-travel map becomes available on Day 3, enabling visits to earlier locations and alternate puzzle solutions.
