Discover new item shapes along with unique and surprising combinations
Solve 80+ hand-crafted puzzles
Enjoy simple and intuitive controls, no manual needed!
Play at your own pace - no pressure and no timers
Includes a comprehensive hint system to reveal as much of the solution as you’d like
Skip past levels you feel stuck on, come back to them at any time!
Explore puzzles with multiple solutions, including challenges for how you solved them
We plan to release on Steam and Nintendo Switch in early 2027. Check out our new store page and wishlist on Steam!

Patch v2.0.2 is live! We made lots of optimizations and performance fixes for our recent Nintendo Switch port, and these fixes have finally made their way to PC.
Fixed:

Fixed vacation ticket confirmation popup not showing up in eep!Bay
Fixed relationship/mood level indicators when viewing minigame results and relationship/mood is already maxed out
Fixed boombox music note particle system layering when it’s in a decoration spot
Optimized some of the larger backgrounds
Fixed lots of memory leaks and other memory issues on slower/older hardware
On the surface, things shouldn’t look that different, but under the hood, we had to re-do a lot of the UI to fix many memory related issues (which is why the Switch port took so long) and in doing so, we had to fix a lot of UI bugs that were newly introduced.
If you haven’t already, please consider leaving a review! It really helps out our small team and we’re almost at Overwhelmingly Positive - we just need to hit 500 reviews (so close!).
Reminder that you can submit a bug report through Google forms: https://forms.gle/nz2RoMXXumem8JNi9 or you can also email me directly at [email protected] Thanks!

Patch v1.4.0 is live!
Changed:

Settings for the Self Care Minigame Highlight Tiles - changed from a toggle to a dropdown with 3 options - All (Easy), Latest (Normal), and None (Hard). "All (Easy)" will now highlight the only tiles possible for all the selected tiles and will stay highlighted even if you run into an intrusive thought. "Latest (Normal)" is the same as when the old setting used to be checked - meaning it only highlights the tiles from the last one you selected. "None (Hard)" is the same as when the old setting used to be unchecked - meaning it never highlights based on what you select. Hope this new setting helps to make the self care minigame a bit easier!
Fixed:

UI fixes (text overflow, text alignment)
Fixed memories board sometimes not showing the exclamation point when there is an epilogue to view

Thank you all SO MUCH for playing Love, Ghostie. I cannot emphasize enough how heart-warming it is to hear how much you all resonate with the characters. I've been reading the reviews and it's making me so happy that you all can tell how much love and care we put into this. If you haven't yet left a review, please consider it!

Huge thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting and those of you who have given your feedback and support! We’ve been working so hard these past 3 years and we’ve put so much love and care into the full release!
Love, Ghostie is launching alongside the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration, and we have a 10% launch discount that runs through Aug 21.

While we don’t officially have Steam Deck verification yet, we’ve tested a lot on the Steam Deck and it runs smoothly!
Your save file from the demo will NOT transfer to the full game, as many changes were made after the demo.
If you encounter a bug, please report it. We’ve created a Google Form to easily report bugs: https://forms.gle/nz2RoMXXumem8JNi9
Please consider leaving an honest review if you play the game. Reviews help indies with visibility and we’d love to see what you think of it!
Thank YOU so much for your support and happy matchmaking!
- Jennifer
