Biggest lesson I've learned from Love, Ghostie is that despite being a game designed for replayability, a lot of people will play it once and assume they've seen all the content
in reality, you need to play it at least 11 times to see everything 🧵
multiple people have told me they cried while playing Love, Ghostie so I guess we did our job right 😂
please leave a review if you've played! it helps us out more than you know!

reviews and comments have been so lovely so far, it makes my heart so warm knowing people can tell how much love we put into it
I was so anxious for today that i literally woke up at 5:45 this morning and was wide awake
BUT OMG EVERYONE'S REACTIONS TO THE DEMO SO FAR HAVE BEEN SO WHOLESOME AND AHHHHH
I'm hopping in and out of streams, but AHHH LOVE, GHOSTIE DEMO OUT TOMORROW
I met a cozy gamer in the wild yesterday!!
[talking to the flight attendant about art / indie games]
flight attendant: ...but I love cozy games!!
me: 👀👀 WELL I HAVE A GAME YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN 👀👀
TOMORROW
Early reviews have been super positive so far, and it warms my heart to see so many people enjoying Love, Ghostie! Huge shoutout to my amazing team, could not have done it without you all 🫶
Love, Ghostie hit 30k wishlists on Steam!!
Most of these wishlists were after the demo release, so THANK YOU SO MUCH to those who played the demo, streamed it, made videos, told their friends, gave feedback, and of course, wishlisted!
I still can't believe it - 30k is A LOT!!
Did you know that we added hearts all throughout Love, Ghostie?
You can find them in:
🎁 items
🛏️ rooms
🏞️ backgrounds
🖥️ UI
🐹 residents (eyes, outfits, also check Gerard's ears!)
Here's a preview of the characters that weren't available in the Love, Ghostie demo!

🐻❄️ Sky, the polar bear
🦎 Chamel, the cosplaying chameleon
Each resident is rigged/animated individually and has their own unique room, move-in comic, music, and more!

There are 3 residents in Love, Ghostie that haven't been revealed yet and I'll be announcing one next week!!
I'm SOOOOO excited to show off this next one, I think people will really love them!! After I saw all the animations, I am now OBSESSED
Stay tuned and wishlist on Steam!
In Love, Ghostie, you play as a ghost matchmaker and you'll be able to set up residents on dates!
Depending on who goes on the dates, they can be super cute...or super *awkward*
Imagine a karaoke date going this poorly💀
3 DAYS UNTIL THE DEMO IS OUT!! ❤️👻
🎉 30 🎉
Younger me never would have imagined I'd be here today, making my own game 🤯
The past year went by quickly, but I'm super proud of what I've accomplished. I'm really excited for what's to come, especially for Love, Ghostie ❤️👻
Cheers to no longer being in my 20s!
Introducing our NEWEST (and maybe even CUTEST??) resident in Love, Ghostie - say hi to Ami the hamster!
There will be 12 residents, which means 3 MORE that haven't been announced yet 👀
Wishlist Love, Ghostie on Steam! ⬇️ We're REALLY close to hitting a BIG milestone!!
If you'd like to know when Love, Ghostie will release internationally, take a look at our inaccurate world map (and in case you didn't know, this is an in-game item)!
7 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!
I got a Steam deck and it's just the store page and nothing special (yet 😛)...but it makes it feel more real??? 🤯😲
past me had such bad imposter syndrome and wouldn't believe that I would be here today
my heart is so full after seeing all these streams/posts/reviews 🥰
I'm finally able to concentrate a bit to work on the first patch! very minimal bugs (thankfully!) but I'll hope to get that out soon!
also I haven't touched any code in over 2 weeks LOL wish me luck
Whenever you play the demo for Love, Ghostie, keep an eye out for HIDDEN hearts!
You can find them in:
🎁 items
🛏️ rooms
🏞️ backgrounds
💻 UI
👗 resident outfits
👁️ resident EYES
We put so many hearts in everything and I'd love to see how many you notice 👀
ok I need a break from all the Unity drama, so as promised, here's BEEP0, the next resident available in Love, Ghostie!!
Absolutely LOVE all the expressions that they have
(♡‿♡)
ONLY TWO RESIDENTS LEFT TO BE ANNOUNCED
With 1800 demos in Steam Next Fest, it's been really hard to stand out among all the amazing games.
Wishlists are critical for our game right now and we appreciate everyone who’s given Love, Ghostie a shot! Please share and wishlist, every bit goes a long way!
you have to play Love, Ghostie at least 11 times to fully see all the ships 😱 (yes, there is New Game+)
while testing my multiple playthroughs, I was trying to plan pairs ahead of time to be optimal in every playthrough so I just made a spreadsheet 😂
there are so many cute things in the full release of Love, Ghostie that I wish I could post about and I can't wait to see all of your reactions to them
can we skip to Wednesday PLS
In the full release of Love, Ghostie, there is New Game+!
The memories board retains the dates and relationship talks you’ve unlocked from previous runs. There are even other New Game+ features that help you progress relationships faster, so you can collect ALL the couple art!!
you have no idea how much it means to me when people mention how bug-free or polished the demo is 😭
as someone who had major imposter syndrome for all of my 20s and never felt like I was good enough to be in computer science/software engineering, it means a lot, so THANK YOU 💖
HUGE thank you to everyone who's streamed / created content / wrote articles / recommended it to their friends / given feedback / played the demo / etc for Love, Ghostie!
No matter how big or small, it has helped SO MUCH and in more ways than you know!
In Love, Ghostie, you can upgrade the manor to have 8 residents living together at once!!
As a comparison:
The demo only had 4 residents at a time = 6 possible couples
whereas having 8 residents at a time = 28 possible couples!!
WHO DO I CHOOSE TO SHIP?! 😱
OMG WHAT!!!
Imagine how shocked/excited I was when I got this month's magazine from
@thepatchmag
and then saw Love, Ghostie in there!!!
I'M SO HONORED THANK YOU THIS IS SO COOL
Love, Ghostie is gonna be a part of the Steam Next Fest running from June 10-17!
But guess what? You can get a head start and already play our brand new demo NOW!

Each resident has their own:
- move-in comic
- music theme
- room / furniture
- special idle animation
- diary / diary entries
- special date
- and more!
🔊 SOUND ON 🔊
I'm very proud of this intro sequence I made for the main menu!
Getting everything in sync and getting the light beam to work was a pain but I did it 🥲
I could listen to this theme by
@sam_vandersluis
all day though 😍 (and I did while making this)
I guess I should reveal a new resident soon
The demo has 5 characters with 10 possible couples and the full game has 12 characters with 66 possible couples!!
I did a playtest last week and the amount of content surprised me - I can't pick which couple to ship 😂
To celebrate the new Love, Ghostie demo, a friend made me a ghostie hat
so I can wear a ghostie while playing as Ghostie who's wearing a smaller ghostie as a hat
(anyway play the new demo and unlock ghostie hats)
It's been unreal to see the response to the demo! I'm pleasantly surprised and SO proud of my team!
Many people are asking about a release date and honestly it's hard to say. It's an early demo, so there's still a ton we want to do! We're a VERY small team (and only 2 full-time)
Here's the 11th character in Love, Ghostie!
He's the most friendly and sociable of the group and you may have seen a sneak peek of him on the cover art 👀
Say hi to Apollo!
Ami is an engineer and wants to fly! She reflects my personal experiences of being a woman in software engineering and often struggles with imposter syndrome
I may not be a flying hamster, but being the only programmer for Love, Ghostie is an accomplishment that I’m proud of!
if you come across the seashells date in Love, Ghostie, you should try to get the bad version of that date, because it is my absolute favorite and makes me laugh out loud every time
AHH!!! honored that Love, Ghostie is
#3
on this list!!
With October just around the corner, check out Love, Ghostie if you want a ghost game that isn't scary 😝
Hi, I'm Jennifer! 👋
I'm a software engineer who's been in the gaming industry for ~5 years and last year I took the leap to indie dev and am now working on my own cozy game ❤️👻
