I'm going with Phantasmagoria. I like the font and the black letters with the shiny borders.

I vote for Phantasmagoria. I like the overall style, it looks timeless to me. I haven't played the game and probably never will.
As Legerdemancy already mentioned, the cover would have worked even better without the red blood streak. That one feels to me like the client telling the graphic designer "there needs to be blood!" after the illustration/composition was finished.
The Eco Quest Cover looks too much like an airbrushed candy to me. I don't know what I am supposed to look at, since everything is colorful and "loud". It annoys me with the fact that it doesn't show what the characters are looking at, and the characters look "over acting" to me, not convincing - which might be a perfect fit for the game which I haven't played either.

I prefer the cover for Phantasmagoria.

Phantasmagoria, by a loooong way! It's a beautiful, elegant design. I particularly love the vivid red of the blood streak. Side note, I played the game for the first time earlier this year and absolutely loved it.

I vote Eco Quest.
Its simple, and fantastically portrays the tone and charm of the game.
The phantasmagoria cover, although is not bad design, doesn't communicate anything to me honestly.

Phantasmagoria has a phantom, and it has gore. Truth in advertising.
Eco Quest has a kid and several animals doing the "pog champ". Such a cynical ploy to attract Gen Z will not be allowed to preveil.
Voting Phantasmagoria.

Phantasmagoria

Phantasmagoria here as well. That's a beautiful cover!
EcoQuest isn't bad at all, but there are a lot of things I could nitpick about it.

The EcoQuest cover is cute and has appealing colors, but I vote for Phantasmagoria because of its dramatic art that screams horror.

Phantasmagoria for me too. Undecided about the red blood getting in the way of the black and white design. But yeah, it’s quite stylish and timeless, though no personal favourite for me.
