Patch v1.2.0 is live!

Here are the bug fixes:

  • Fixed issue where move out residents scene wasn't triggering properly
  • Fixed issue with giving the same resident 2 vacation tickets
  • Fixed issue with opening the save slots menu if there is an error with a save file

I'll continue fixing bugs throughout the week! Thanks for the bug reports!

Patch v1.1.0 is Live!

The first patch is here! Here are the changes:

Added:

  • Setting under the Controls tab to allow inverting the zoom direction for mouse


Fixed:

  • Adjusted volumes for some sfx
  • Fix various typos (I'm learned that 'ephemeral' is not the word I thought it was, oops!)
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes


Some really minor changes, but wanted to get a quick patch in before the weekend! I'll be looking into more bug fixes next week!

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! It helps out our small team a lot to get some visibility!

Have a great weekend!

Love, Ghostie is Available NOW!

Love, Ghostie is available NOW to play on Windows, Mac, and Steam Deck!

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!

One Week Until Launch and Last Week for Demo!

We’ll be releasing at 9 AM PDT on August 14th! In case you’d like to know what time it’ll be available internationally:



(And in case you didn't know, the inaccurate world map is an item in the game!)

As for other news, we’ll also be taking down the demo on Monday, August 12. The demo is a bit outdated and we’ll be spending our efforts on supporting the launch instead of updating the demo. Please note that demo save does NOT transfer to the full game.

For those of you who have played the demo, since then we've added:

  • Mouse support
  • More dates
  • More items
  • More diary entries
  • More ghostie hats
  • Achievements
  • Cloud save support


Please wishlist Love, Ghostie if you haven’t yet and share with your friends! We’ve put so much love and care into the full release and have worked so hard these past 3 years! We are SO excited for you all to finally play the full game!

We're doing a countdown on socials, so follow along if you'd like!

Steam Deck Issues

A new Proton version was released recently on Steam Deck (9.0-2) and unfortunately the Love, Ghostie demo crashes on that version. I've filed a bug report with Proton, and they're looking into a fix.

In the meantime, you can switch your Proton version to 8.0-5 or 7.0-6 to get it working!

How to change Proton versions on the Steam Deck

Hoping that it gets resolved soon!

Coming Soon in Q3 2024!

It’s been three long years since we first started development, and lots of you have been extremely patient and supportive throughout our journey, so thank you for that!

With all the summer showcases that recently happened, it’s been tough to stand out amongst the vast number of indie games out there! Unfortunately, we were rejected from all the showcases we applied to, and it’s no secret that we’re disappointed. So, if you haven’t already, please play the demo, wishlist Love, Ghostie, and tell your friends! It really helps us to spread the word, and I appreciate any bit of visibility!

Steam Next Fest starts tomorrow and runs from June 10-17. In case you missed it, we released a brand new demo (that you can play now!) that includes all the residents that will be in the full release. This means that ALL 66 combinations of couples are also available to preview!
