Hey everyone,
today I finally want to talk to you about the planned 1.0 launch of What Is The Ghost, the official farewell to Early Access.
The game has been out for quite a while now, and honestly, I’m extremely grateful for everything that has happened since then. Thanks to your feedback, development improved incredibly fast. Many systems have been reworked, multiplayer is now running very smoothly, and we currently have barely any major bugs left. On top of that, the game already offers a lot of content.
🌟 The game currently includes:
Multiplayer
7 Maps
9 Different Ghost Types
Skilltree
Prestige System
Hardcore Mode
Daily & Weekly Quests
Charakter Customization
Skin Shop
Local Leaderboard
Global Leaderboard
Secrets
30+ Steam Achievements
And even with all of that, it still doesn’t feel “finished” to me yet, in a good way. There are still new maps, more ghosts, additional content, and overall polishing coming.
That’s exactly why your feedback is more important now than ever before.
❤️ I need you
Please keep actively playing the game, reporting bugs, sharing ideas, being honest with your opinions, and helping me make the 1.0 launch as good as possible. Every bit of feedback helps tremendously and directly influences development.
💰 Price Adjustment
At release, the price will most likely increase to $12.99. However, there will be a solid 30% launch discount for the first 7–14 days. This could still change before release, but that’s the current plan.
Why this price?
What Is The Ghost is a unique 2D ghost hunting game designed to be a more relaxed and atmospheric alternative to games like Phasmophobia, while still having its own identity, style, and long-term progression system.
You can easily invest dozens of hours into leveling, prestiging, unlocking content, and hunting ghosts together with friends. The game is meant to feel like a full experience, and the price should reflect that.
🎯 When is the 1.0 Launch?
If everything goes according to plan, I want to release version 1.0 just in time for the Halloween-Festival October 26th, 2026.
🎃 Halloween Event
And of course, there will also be a Halloween event available in-game right at launch, where you’ll be able to earn extra:
Reputation
EXP
Money
and Void Essence 👀
