Phasmophobia Studio Launches Kinetic Publishing to Back Indie Games Near Release

The self-funded label promises flexible backing through hands-on guidance from veteran Kinetic staff.

Overview

  • Submissions are open worldwide for PC and console projects roughly 12–18 months from launch.
  • Kinetic plans a small slate of two to three titles at a time to ensure tailored attention for each team.
  • The label offers financial, legal, marketing, and broader development support with funding from a few hundred thousand pounds up to about £1 million, depending on need.
  • Operations are led by five senior members, including CEO Daniel Knight and marketing director Asim Tanvir, with no outside investors or shareholders.
  • Blockchain, web3, and AI-generated games are not considered, and Kinetic’s development team remains focused on Phasmophobia’s planned 1.0 release in 2026.
