Phylakterion

About

Phylakterion is a co-op horror game where 1-4 players explore haunted locations to hunt down a supernatural vessel. Your team splits up to search, identify, and destroy the corrupted object before the malevolent entity inside detects your presence. The catch? The entity actively moves through the environment, forcing you to balance caution with speed. Miscommunication or poor coordination means certain death, as the creature hunts you down if you waste time. The game’s tension comes from its asymmetrical threat and reliance on teamwork. Lich Again Games tightens the nerves with claustrophobic maps and unpredictable enemy behavior. Launched on October 31 2023 for PC, it supports both local and online play. Players praise its pacing and the pressure of limited retries, though some note the learning curve for newcomers. Best played with friends who won’t argue over who takes the next hallway.
