Hello, we are Chosuido, the development team behind "ghostpia Season One".
The largest indie game festival in Japan, "BitSummit", will be held in Kyoto from July 14 to 16, 2023.
We're honored to announce that the Steam version of "ghostpia Season One" will be showcased at BitSummit.
Our game is part of the indie game label 'Yokaze', run by room6, and you'll be able to try out ghostpia at their booth. We've prepared novelties at the ghostpia trial area, so whether you try the game or not, you'll be able to take something back as a souvenir.
We've received photos of the trial area from the venue. It looks wonderful.
If you happen to be in Japan, we encourage you to visit in person. The demo is available in both Japanese and English, so you can play in the language you're most comfortable with.
The game on display is running on a Steam Deck. Our goal for the full version of the game is to ensure it runs smoothly on the Steam Deck. The large, beautiful screen of the Steam Deck paired with the illustration-filled visual novel that is ghostpia makes for an excellent combination. It means you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful nocturnal world that ghostpia portrays even in your bed. If you have a Steam Deck once the full version is released, we encourage you to give it a try.
There seem to be many other wonderful indie game titles showcased at BitSummit. Even our development staff at Chosuido are planning to visit and enjoy!
"ghostpia Season One" is being fervently developed for its release this summer. Please look forward to future updates.
