Overview
About this game
📚 A Living Archive of Anomalies
Phantom Containment is built around a growing archive of entities, aberrant species, anomalies, and forgotten civilizations discovered throughout Helix Planet.
The long-term vision is an expansive and evolving bestiary that continues to grow over time, introducing new species, entity classes, anomaly types, and ancient mysteries as the world expands.
🧬 Origin Unknown 🧬
Every entity has a place within the greater universe.
Some are remnants of extinct civilizations.
Some are failed experiments abandoned by their creators.
Others originate from regions of reality that were never meant to intersect.
Each discovery contributes to a larger mystery surrounding Helix Planet and the forces that shaped it.
🔬 Investigation Before Confrontation 🔬
Every encounter is more than a fight for survival.
It is an opportunity to learn.
Entities feature:
Unique behaviors and adaptations
Detailed research logs and classifications
Environmental interactions
Hidden origins and lore
Distinct strengths and weaknesses
Studying an entity may reveal information that cannot be discovered through combat alone.
You are not simply hunting the unknown.
You are documenting it.
📖 Build Your Archive📖
Recover samples, artifacts, records, and research data to expand your personal archive.
Over time, your discoveries will reveal the history of Helix Plant, the civilizations that once controlled it, and the countless entities left behind.
The deeper your knowledge grows, the closer you come to understanding the true purpose of the experiment.
About the Game
Survive the Experiment.
Phantom Containment is an open-world anomaly survival horror game set on Helix Planet, a massive containment world consumed by hostile entities, aberrant species, anomaly outbreaks, and violent factions.
You are not a hero.
You are a specimen.
Trapped inside a classified experiment alongside thousands of prisoners, exiles, scavengers, zealots, failed experiments, and hostile survivor groups, your only goal is survival.
Escape is impossible.
To the civilizations beyond the stars, everyone inside Helix Planet is expendable.
Scavenge what you can.
Build what you must.
And survive long enough to uncover what Helix Plant was truly built for.
🌍 A Massive Living Containment World 🌍
Explore a huge open world filled with:
abandoned research complexes
ruined settlements
underground bunkers
corrupted wilderness
anomaly zones
aberrant species territories
hidden laboratories
containment facilities
forgotten ruins
The world evolves throughout development with expanding regions, new biomes, environmental systems, entities, and survival threats.
Each biome introduces unique:
anomalous activity
environmental hazards
resources
weather conditions
entities
aberrant species
survival challenges
What feels calm during the day may become deadly after dark.
The world constantly changes through:
dynamic weather
anomaly storms
roaming entities
containment sweeps
faction raids
territorial conflict
containment breaches
No area stays safe forever.
👁️ Helix Planet Is Alive 👁️
Anomalies are not limited to scripted encounters.
They exist everywhere.
Different regions of Helix Plant are influenced by powerful entities and unknown forces that react to:
noise
structures
lights
player activity
stored artifacts
territorial expansion
You may:
hear voices from empty structures
see distant figures observing your movements
experience hallucinations and reality distortions
attract hostile entities to your settlement
discover signs that something entered your shelter during the night
Build in the wrong territory —
and your settlement may become part of the hunt.
Nowhere is completely safe.
🔦 Investigation & Containment 🔦
Detection and containment equipment are essential tools for survival.
Use specialized equipment to:
detect nearby anomalies
identify hostile entities
track aberrant species
stabilize dangerous areas
secure your settlement
recover anomalous artifacts
survive entity encounters
Prepare your defenses using:
protective devices
containment tools
anomaly scanners
traps
containment systems
environmental monitoring equipment
Knowledge is often more valuable than weapons.
⚒️ Build, Expand & Defend ⚒️
Gather resources, hunt wildlife, craft equipment, and build shelters ranging from improvised camps to heavily fortified survival compounds.
Expand your base with:
crafting stations
storage systems
farms
workshops
defensive walls
power systems
containment chambers
research facilities
But large settlements attract attention.
Hostile factions, containment forces, scavenger groups, zealots, and anomalous entities may raid your territory to destroy structures, recover artifacts, or eliminate survivors.
If your defenses fail, you may lose:
supplies
equipment
territory
and parts of your settlement
Survival means constantly rebuilding.
⚔️ Other Survivors Are Just As Dangerous ⚔️
You are not alone on Helix Planet.
Encounter:
hostile prisoner factions
scavenger groups
rogue survivors
zealot factions
containment operatives
corrupted individuals
escaped experiments
Some fight for survival.
Others fight for power.
As Helix Planet descends deeper into chaos, conflict between survivors becomes unavoidable.
Choose how you survive:
stealth and evasion
direct combat
traps and defenses
scavenging
containment tactics
strategic preparation
Overconfidence gets people killed.
📈 Survival, Skills & Progression 📈
Develop your survivor through long-term progression and skill-based gameplay.
Train abilities including:
mining
woodcutting
fishing
farming
cooking
tailoring
construction
stealth
lockpicking
hunting
crafting
combat
alchemy
and more
Manage critical survival systems such as:
hunger
energy
temperature
oxygen
inventory weight
environmental hazards
anomaly exposure
Every decision affects your chances of survival.
📚 Uncover the Truth 📚
Hidden across Helix Planet are the remains of failed containment operations, abandoned experiments, collapsed facilities, and forgotten civilizations.
Recover:
anomalous artifacts
entity samples
experimental technology
ancient relics
classified records
containment logs
research archives
The deeper you explore, the clearer the truth becomes:
Helix Planet was never built as a prison.
It was never built to contain anomalies.
It was built to determine which species could survive them.
And the experiment is still ongoing.
