Ghostware is OUT NOW

There it is

GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead has finally reached completion.

It's been a troubled production that went through multiple changes and revisions but nevertheless it managed to reach the finish line, and I hope you will find some fun in playing it.
I also want to thank everyone who 's been along for the Early Access, their support and, most importantly, their patience.

The full version of Ghostware features a full singleplayer campaign comprised of over 35 levels (including secret maps and side-maps) across three Episodes, 10+ weapons, multiple abilities, and an Arcade Mode where players can relax by setting up custom matches against bots in Deathmatch and KOH-style maps.
It also brings a plethora of bugfixes, too many to count.

Important note, all previous savefiles are preserved, but I still suggest to start over to experience the earlier parts with their tweaks and additions.

That's all, hop in and start your journey
