You may have heard of Kinetic Games through our horror title, Phasmophobia<\/a>. It\u2019s sold over 27 million copies, and thanks to this success, in January of this year we established our very own publishing label, Kinetic Publishing. Our aim at Kinetic Publishing is to support and empower indie devs to create incredible games, giving them the level of support that our founder, Daniel Knight, would have benefitted from when he was first creating Phasmophobia.<\/p>\n

Today we debuted our Kinetic Publishing showcase, where we got to reveal the first five games we\u2019ll be publishing throughout 2027 and 2028. These dev teams all have unique, inspiring stories and just as equally exciting games. From a true sci-fi horror to a witch-tech delivery adventure, and everything in between, we\u2019ve curated a selection of games we hope players are going to love, and of course, they will all be available on PlayStation 5.<\/p>\n

Contact Protocol\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Can you make the right decisions under pressure? That\u2019s the question the team behind Contact Protocol wants the answer to. In this sci-fi starship job simulator, you are tasked with the scourge that is corporate admin as you assess the intentions of incoming ships on the Pale Horse\u2019s voyage to Jupiter\u2019s largest moon. Compare incoming information against company records and do your best to determine whether ships are friend or foe. But make the wrong decision and all it takes is one torpedo to guarantee your safety \u2013 while sending the other crew to their death in the vacuum of space.<\/p>\n
