Phasmophobia Creator Builds Indie Publishing Empire While Promising 'Meatiest' Horror Update Yet

Phasmophobia's creator is building a publishing empire while racing to finish his grindiest horror game ever - and he's not adding any AI to either.

Kinetic Games has launched Kinetic Publishing, an indie publishing arm seeking 'creative games from small teams and solo developers' with a 12-18 month development window. Daniel Knight cited 'business admin' struggles as the primary motivation for creating this new division.

The Phasmophobia 1.0 release, currently in early access since 2018, will include a 'meatiest' horror update in 2026. The Steam update post states: "Our aim... is to know we’ve fulfilled our vision for the game."
