Update: v 1.17 live
I've pushed an update to Speed Dating for Ghosts that fixes and polishes a bunch of things. Please update to get the full ghost dating experience with these fixes:
- A conditional issue has been fixed that was preventing players from seeing full reactivity to rejecting or being rejected by all nine ghosts in a single playthrough. On Steam, this also prevented people from earning the All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Ghost achievement.
- Steph no longer lingers unnaturally long at the end of her date if you tell her "You're dead." She also now makes a noise when she gets mad.
- The "Choose Your Date" images have been updated to better reflect the appearance of the ghosts and the room themes.
- Various minor fixes have been implemented to improve the flow of the text. We also caught a few typos!
Thanks for playing our game. We are thrilled with the spirited reaction to our game.

Update: v 1.16 live
βThank you all for playing on launch day. A few small bugs have emerged because that's just how the early days go. We've updated to fix all known issues.
v 1.16 fixes the dramatic reveal at the end of Steph's date and a couple lines in Riley's date that mix up Phantoms and Demons (how did that happen?)
If you find any bugs, please let us know in the discussion forum.
And thanks for playing!

Speed Dating for Ghosts is Out Now!
After months 'n months of waiting, Speed Dating for Ghosts has flickered into existence on Steam and itch.io just in time for Valentine's Day (widely regarded as the scariest day of the year).
We're pleased to offer the game and soundtrack at a discount for launch.
We cannot wait for you to get to know some ghosts.
Launches are launches and there are sometimes hiccups. If you run into any issues while you play, please let us know in Steam's community forum thingy or via email: copychasergames at gmail dot com.
Thank you for your support and we'll see you on the other side!

Speed Dating for Ghosts Launches on Valentine's Day
We finally have a date for the, um, ghost dates!
*drum roll*
Valentineβs Day!
Speed Dating for Ghosts will be released on Steam and elsewhere this upcoming February 14: the scariest day of the year!
In advance of this decision, gave ourselves two options:
1. Push hard to release in early December, only to get swallowed up by all the great sales, giant releases, and best of lists.
2. Take some time to polish and refine things before releasing on Valentine's Day, a holiday already devoted to all things insubstantial and terrifying.
Since Halloween came and went, the latter seemed like the better option by far. So it's what we're gonna do!
We've even changed the release date on Steam, so it no longer says "When the Time Has Come"... or "When the Tim..." in search results.
Thanks for all the support so far. We'll be providing regular updates in the coming weeks.
Mostly we just can't wait for you all to meet some weird ghost friends.

Full Steam Ahead!
As night fell, an eerie steam rolled in, carrying with it an army of ghosts.
Some sought vengeance. Others, simply to party.
Also, Speed Dating for Ghosts now has an official page on the Steam Store!
We've set the release date to "when its time has come," which seems appropriate for a game about dead people. There are some screenshots to peek at, as well as a nifty little teaser trailer that features a track from the game.
If you're keen on ghosts, please add our game to your wishlist. Also feel free to tweet, post, or otherwise get the word out to anyone who might like to make some spooky friends. It'll help us an awful lot.
We've also got an email newsletter mailing list thing for the most hardcore of ghost daters. Sign up for regular dispatches, including the latest news, insight into development, and even some presents!
