The Ghost Ship

Announcement of Ringlorn Saga Gaiden, our next project!



We're excited to announce Ringlorn Saga Gaiden, our next game.

Due to the warm reception and interest in the Temple of Rebirth bonus dungeon in the original game, we've decided to make a standalone RPG based on the possession mechanics.

Ringlorn Saga Gaiden is an adventure RPG inspired by the Japanese PC classics. After dying in a decisive battle, your spirit is separated from your body, and you must exact your revenge on the Dark Lord by possessing his minions.


  • A short-but-sweet Action RPG that won't hold your hand, nor waste your time
  • Fight enemies to get stronger, possess their bodies, and use their abilities to survive
  • Explore an open world, find items that will strengthen your spirit, and complete objectives in any order
  • Simple but nuanced game mechanics and controls
  • MSX-inspired 8-bit sound
  • CRT filter for an authentic retro experience
  • If you lose your way, pray to Morrigan

Update 1.0.8 Released

Changelog:

  • Adjusted the logic behind message boxes. Now they will wait for user input instead of staying on screen for a fixed amount of time.
  • Adjusted status effect triggers to deliver more steady results.
  • Fixed annoying delay whenever the door animation has finished playing.
  • Fixed excessive draw calls in certain areas.
  • Fixed a critical bug which would stop loading the music altogether if the game attempted to load a track while another track was being loaded.
  • Fixed a rare critical issue which could bug autosaves between chapters. In case you ever encounter it again, please restart the current map/chapter from the death screen. [Reported by Tweed]
  • Fixed unresponsive skip button in the intro text roll.
  • Fixed certain objects being attached to the wrong prefab, making them appear a bit different when entering certain maps for the first time.
  • Fixed subtle hissing in a few audio tracks.
  • Improved music transitions with proper crossfading.
  • Switched music format from ADPCM to Vorbis.
  • Increased speed of door opening animations if they're opened via remote access.

Note: you can access 'controls.bnd' by going to 'c:/Users/[your username]/AppData/LocalLow/Graverobber Foundation/Das Geisterschiff/' to modify the controls. You need to run the game at least once in order to generate this file.

Soundtrack DLC Updated

The DLC (Original Soundtrack, Declassified, and Remixed) has been updated to the new 'Music' app type.

If you own any of these, check your Steam library in order to access it. If you can't find it, check the filters and see if 'SOUNDTRACKS' item is checked.

In order to download the FLAC files, go to Steam settings and check 'Download high-quality audio files' item in the 'Music' tab.

Thank you for your patience. We've encountered a few issues along the way, but they've been fixed and we'd like to also thank Valve for their assistance in the matter.

Enjoy the music.

Der Geisterturm Steam Page is Live!

Der Geisterturm



We've been quietly working on the next DG game, and now is the best time to make an announcement.

Der Geisterturm (The Ghost Tower) is a turn-based dungeon crawler and a spin-off to Das Geisterschiff. You wake up in a strange tower and a mysterious man commands you to reach the top floor.



What Der Geisterturm can offer to Das Geisterschiff fans?



  • Expanded combat system: encounters against multiple enemies, combat stances, fire modes and damage types add new layers of decision-making to the game, as standing in one place and firing randomly will only lead to your death;
  • The pilot is present in the game and can be hurt or killed if attacks penetrate the armor;
  • New abilities: Booster and Shield offer new ways to survive through each encounter;
  • Expanded progression: from collecting upgrades for your RCS, weapons and abilities to natural progression of the pilot by gaining experience from battles;
  • A single dungeon with 15 interconnected floors that will challenge your survival skills.


The release is planned for Q1 2020.

Stay tuned, folks, the future is metal.

  • Fixed missing translations on a couple of signs.
  • Fixed a freeze during an attempt to analyze one of the bosses.
