The developer behind Phasmophobia, quietly one of the biggest indie hits of the decade, is using its massive success to help other small game makers with its new publishing label.

Developer Kinetic Games today announced the launch of Kinetic Publishing, a publishing arm that "aims to champion innovation within the independent game development space, and helps teams on games across a wide range of genres, with a focus on a small slate," per a press release.

Not much is changing for Kinetic Games proper, though – no surprise there since the studio's co-op horror sensation has sold over 25 million copies. The team will apparently "remain entirely focused on Phasmophobia" and its early access journey, which should bring a new map and the Chronicle Update later this year.
