Kinetic Publishing Showcase Reveals First Five Titles

Kinetic Publishing, the label launched by Phasmophobia studio Kinetic Games, streamed its first showcase on August 13, 2026, and announced five debut titles. The slate spans a spaceship work simulator, a magical island life sim, a snail-body Metroidvania, a wizard life sim, and a fifth title. Platforms include PC and consoles.

Kinetic Publishing, the label founded by Kinetic Games, streamed its first online showcase on August 13, 2026, and announced the five titles it will release. The label supports indie developers through funding, production, marketing, and PR, a direction born from founder Daniel Knight's wish to provide the support he lacked while developing Phasmophobia alone.

The announcement also included a joint interview with Sam Barlow, known for Her Story and IMMORTALITY, from a media preview held before the stream. All five titles are planned for PC and consoles, including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

  • Contact Protocol: spaceship work simulator by Cold Zephyr Games, spring 2027
  • Crescent County: magical island life sim by Electric Saint, summer 2027
  • Shellbound: Metroidvania by Fake Lobster, summer 2028
  • Aether Wizard Life: wizard life sim by Vonder Games, fall 2028
  • PRECOGNITION: fifth announced title
