- Tenebris: Terra Incognita has been released as version 1.0! - 14 September 2026
The day has finally arrived! Version 1.0 of our game, “Tenebris: Terra Incognita”, has been released!It’s been a hell of a long journey for us. The team came together full of enthusiasm but with no development experience, yet driven by a burning desire to create a good, challenging tactical game. It took us six years; our team grew from two to twelve people, having gone through all the trials and tribulations of development without a budget or investors.From the very start, we didn’t want to take anyone else’s money, so the game isn’t exactly what you’d call expensive. It won’t blow you away with stunning graphics or cutting-edge technology. Knowing this, we focused on hooking players with the gameplay and tactical depth. And believe us, the game has plenty to surprise you with!By our modest estimates, it’ll take around 60 hours to play through the story at a leisurely pace, though some…
- Pre-release announcement. Version 1.0 launches tomorrow! - 13 September 2026
Friends, we’d like to remind you that Tenebris launches tomorrow!The game will be available at a 25% discount for the first week.For existing players who’ve been playing during Early Access, we’ve sped up the animations so you can get to the new content as quickly as possible.Although, to be honest, you’ll encounter the new content straight after completing the first two missions. That’s because we’ve polished up a lot of the old mechanics and added plenty of new ones.Please do try to find some time tomorrow to launch Tenebris. After all, if we all manage to achieve a good peak online player count, Steam will promote the game! And that means we’ll have a chance to further develop the story of the legendary lieutenant and his friends!See you tomorrow on Tenebris! Best wishes, the Phantasmica Studios team.

14 September: the release of ‘Tenebris: Terra incognita’ version 1.0!Friends, September is finally here. And that means there are 14 days to go until the release of Tenebris: Terra Incognita.

- Devlog #19 - 1 August 2026
Hi, friends! The game’s release is getting closer and closer—September 14 is just around the corner! Now is the perfect time to tell you about the massive amount of work we’ve put in over the past six months. There are less than two months left until release, and this expansion is comparable in size to the previous two combined! Let’s start with the 10 new subclasses we’ve implemented—we’ve been telling you about them in our last five dev logs, where you can read more details.Each of the 10 new heroes will have their own unique mechanic that forms the core of their gameplay. We don’t like it when developers just tweak stats upward to make heroes stronger, so we tried to come up with something more unique. We’re looking forward to your feedback on the heroes in September! We’ve finished the story, and it now consists of 48 missions, not counting side quests! We didn’t expect our first ga…

Hi, friends! Finally, we’ve gotten to the girls with the big guns! Snipers in Tenebris are quite canonical; this class boldly and confidently delivers the highest damage numbers of any class to the player.PellentesClad in light armor and with low health, Pellentes easily makes up for her weaknesses with one ironclad fact: she is the ONLY hero capable of killing enemies with a single shot right from the start of the game! And for that, as we all know, you’d sell your soul to a waffle monster or whoever it is you pray- and make sacrifices to. One of the most popular builds for this hero isn’t focused on negative effects, as an inexperienced player might think, but rather on making her a critical strike specialist, maximizing both critical strike chance and critical strike damage.The “Pull the Trigger” ability deals massive damage and, with a critical hit, will take down most monsters righ…

Welcome, Space Marines! While game development is in full swing, we’d like to tell you about the Medicus archetype.MedicusThis heroine will be an indispensable part of the team, especially in the early stages. Without her, it’s best not to take any risks and stay on board the ship. After all, who else but her will be sewing back the severed limbs of our soldiers on the front lines? Although, in reality, in our age of advanced technology, she’ll hardly have to sew or patch anything. If you look at the medic’s arm, you’ll see an interesting device on it. It’s a pneumaton! And here’s how it works: microchips and sensors located beneath the casing analyze the wounded person’s condition and, using a special neural network, prepare the necessary combination of antibodies, various medications, nanobots, and other complex compounds and technical gadgets.In short, it’s a brilliant device. Upon r…
- Devlog #16 - 3 May 2026
Hello, everyone! In this devlog, we’ll be focusing on the truly massive units from the Defencor archetype. This is the only archetype designed to protect their allies and capable of withstanding a lot of damage. DefencorThis is the backbone of Earth’s heavy infantry. It will break through any defense and help you suppress even the most heavily fortified enemy firing positions, while its armor easily absorbs light and medium-intensity attacks. Every Defencor carries a bayonet for close combat and a large-caliber shotgun to suppress enemies at medium range.This class is only effective in the front lines, as it attacks only the row directly in front of it! It deals less damage than dedicated attackers and may slow down level progression slightly, but it fulfills its role as a tank perfectly. The hero has a higher amount of health and armor, as well as numerous crowd control abilities, rang…
- DevLog #15 - 1 April 2026
Dear friends, we are pleased to announce that the official release date for version 1.0 is September 14, 2026. In this 15th development log, we’ll share what we’ve already accomplished and what we’re currently working on.New ClassesWe’ve finished work on all 10 new hero classes. When designing these new heroes, our goal was to add variety to the gameplay experience after 40 hours of play. We didn’t want to limit ourselves to simply buffing existing characters by giving them a new look and boosting their stats. That would have made the gameplay rather predictable and wouldn’t have been satisfying. After all, by level 20, the player has already mastered all the mechanics and is looking for something fresh and new! That’s why we tried to give each new class its own unique mechanics to add tactical depth to the second half of the game. So, to play effectively, you need to choose heroes in s…

Dear friends, in this log we will look at the Technicus archetype. We will explore how the character evolves up to level 30, and unravel the features of the new subclasses.TechnicusTechnicus is an engineer who specialises in repairing his teammates' armour and controlling a support drone.Like Medicus, this class is designed to support the team. However, it is much more difficult to control and requires high-quality equipment to reach its full potential, especially at high levels. The main mechanics of this class are built around the ‘Drone’ effect: the more you have, the higher the chance of applying positive effects to allies with your skills. It is also the only class in the game that can simultaneously strengthen allies while attacking enemies. A hero with high-quality equipment can make a significant contribution to the team, but cannot yet compete with the Medic due to their inabil…

Dear friends, our team is actively working on the final release update 1.0, which will add a huge amount of content and gameplay improvements to the game. In this post, we'll focus on the Miles archetype. We'll talk about his further development up to level 30 and share some mechanics of the new subclasses. In the demo version and beyond, you could get acquainted with the starting hero Miles, or the Marine, as he is commonly known in our community.MilesMiles is one of the two starting heroes available to the player. He is a classic DD hero capable of dealing a lot of damage to the enemy. In a team, he competes with the sniper (Pellentes) for first place in damage dealt.The sniper has a high chance of critical hits and significant critical damage, as well as powerful abilities that can destroy a target with a single shot. So what is Miles' strength?First of all, this hero is capable of d…
