About
Dear Ghost is a top-down, story-driven adventure about an old cottage in the woods, which houses an unstable ghost.
Play as a friendly exorcist who has been assigned to investigate the spirit of a famous author. Talk to those closest to her and complete quests to uncover why she's stuck in this lonely forest.
We interpreted the theme "unstable" to mean the unstable environment of the cottage, the player's unstable (but increasingly stable) connection to the ghost, and the unstable relationship of the characters.
Created in three days for Ludum Dare 49.
Controls:
- WASD or Arrow keys to move.
- Spacebar to pick up items.
- Mouse to choose dialogue options.
- Escape to access settings.

The art is really cute, and I like the premise of a friendly exorcist! Also funny that the ghost is just there floating in the corner in the house right at the beginning.
Leaving the house felt kind of counter-intuitive, as you go up to exit the door, but you leave the house on the downside, so if you are still pressing up, you just go back in.
I just collected all the stuff from the house right away and when I talked to various characters around the house, the next dialogue option was already unlocked. Also noticed talking to person in the corner, half their speech bubble was off screen, wanted to read what they were saying!
Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to implement drag + drop for the inventory items, but you should be able to advance the dialogue if you talk to the characters with the required items!
This game is so cute! I can't finish it, but I like your art and music. Good job!
Thank you!
I love the art illustrations in this game, it's really cute!
Thanks!
