it's obligatory holiday post time, so thank you and happy holidays to those we've met so far, and to the rest of you stumbling across this post. we're looking forward to 2026, and best of luck whittling down your backlog over the holidays.

phantom friends is heading to MIGS (our flights didn’t get cancelled). we love bagels, drink espresso, and hate AI. if you do too and are working on a game set in low light, let’s talk. hunt us down on meet to match or at St-Viateur.

we’re phantom friends, a new indie fund. our focus is on low light worlds. we're drawn to the umbral and moody, the glow of a city at night, a darkness that feels alive. games that live in the shadows, both visually and narratively.
