PHOBOS DERE .GB is an authentic GameBoy horror game that can be played on real hardware using a flashcart but can also be played on other consoles or emulation devices. We also provide a digital ROM file compatible with the Analogue Pocket.
You can load the digital ROM file on your favorite emulator, but we highly recommend choosing the original GameBoy black and white mode with four shades of green as seen on our screenshots. This is because the game was designed with the original GameBoy and GameBoy Pocket in mind. However, should you choose to play on the GameBoy Color, please switch to a more appropriate color palette to not to ruin the immersion. The default colors the GameBoy Color uses (the bright blues and greens) will not be appropriate for the experience.
I've been working on this on and off for over a year and it's nice to have finally released it. The demo is free, but if you liked it and are intrigued by the concept, please consider donating or buying the full game so we can make more games like this one. Please consider rating the game as well. Thank you so much.
