Ghostlight Manor Update v1.1
Ghostlight Manor Multiplayer has arrived, along with an expansion to the single player campaign! Participate in the Lightbot Tryouts and test your monster-hunting skills against the toughest competitors in town. This release includes a host of spooky and challenging updates:
A brand-new competitive cross-platform multiplayer mode for 2-4 players (LAN or online play) where you race to complete objectives and sabotage other players with combo attacks.
Two new characters in story mode: the tanky, troublesome Gargoyle and the friendly, time-bending Witch! The Gargoyle is tough to scare and shields other monsters from the Laser Beam, while the Witch uses time magic to freeze the advancing creatures so you have more time to plan and act!
Three new special light beams and custom loadouts for Lightbot! The Spotlight Beam targets a single creature anywhere on the board, the Bubble Beam puts a creature into a protective stasis, and the X-Ray Beam can see through unrevealed creatures.
Also included are loads of additional content:
A new practice mode allows you to play an endless level to experiment with different strategies.
10 new achievements and Steam collectibles for all you completionists out there.
Revamped tutorials to make learning a breeze.
New and improved end game cinematic to further explore the Ghostlight Manor universe.
Updated background art and new music and VO for spookier gameplay.

New bundle options: purchase the game separately from the soundtrack!
Happy New Year!
The studio is working hard on our upcoming expansion and multiplayer relase (still shipping spring 2017), and we've been hearing from the community that people would like the option of buying just the game without the bundled soundtrack -- we hear you, and we've made some tasty updates!
Effective immediately, you can now buy the full game without the bundled soundtrack for $6.99!
You'll still get the spring 2017 multiplayer and major expansion release with new Lightbot beams and new monsters for free when you buy the game!
Coming soon: buy the soundtrack as an add-on to the base game for 4.99, or buy the bundled option for 9.99 and save $2 from the individual price!
