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 👀👀
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!!
Here's a preview of the characters that weren't available in the Love, Ghostie demo!
🐧 Wobbles, the penguin
🐻❄️ 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!!
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
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 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?! 😱
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!

So excited to be among other incredible indie games made by small teams! Check them out from Aug 3-10!!
#tinyteams2023
We put a LOT of effort into each resident in Love, Ghostie to make them all as unique as possible!
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 😂
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!
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)
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 ❤️👻
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike
Before starting my game, I was mentally prepared for doing marketing, social media, all that.
What I wasn't prepared for was making really hard decisions where there is conflicting feedback and no right answer.

It's been a year (where did the time go??) since the first demo for Love, Ghostie and we've done SO much since then!
Old demo -> New demo
5 residents -> 12 residents
10 couples -> 66 couples
New demo going live next week! Excited to discuss my fav ships with you all hehehehe
We finished all the resident rooms ‼️ and here is BEEP0's room!
As you make residents happier, they'll add more furniture to their rooms and they'll decorate their rooms with your gifts too 🎁
Be a wholesome ghost matchmaker in Love, Ghostie!

✨ NEW YEAR, NEW COVER ART?! ✨
Absolutely in love with this new cover art by
@meltedicecubes
! 😍
We wanted to show off a bit more of our ghost matchmaker and more characters that you can ship in Love, Ghostie! Hope you like it!
ok now that people have played the eep!Mail minigame in the demo
it was a random idea based on many games having a fishing minigame
and then we thought of the pun...so I made eep!Mail and it's probably the funniest thing I've done so far
anyway here's my fav eep!Mail response
was playtesting the full version of Love, Ghostie last night and got so caught up in the ships that my "quick" playtest that was supposed to be 30 min turned into 3 hrs
In Love, Ghostie, there will be a "memories board" where you'll be able to rewatch relationship talks and dates you've seen!
You'll also be able to view and collect unique art per couple shipped 👀
(and they are VERY cute!!)
I just updated the existing image I have with their pronouns!
I'll add to the press kit later after I announce the last resident...which I guess I should do soon then 😏
I know I said I wasn't gonna post anything for a while, but we added in a bunch of new items and I NEED to share these:
a very familiar looking video game and the googly eyes make a return
ok bye back to bug fixing
I hit 10k followers on TikTok! 🎉
I had zero public social media presence a year ago, so it's awesome I hit 10k but I'm more proud of myself from a mental health perspective 🧵⬇️
we had a playtest last night and it went SO WELL. I'm SO excited for the new features/mini-games
but there's still a ton of content / quality-of-life features to do! I also want to spend time thinking about New Game+ bc I know many of you will want to see all the ships hehe
I found this message from Nov 2022 saying my optimistic goal for Love, Ghostie wishlists was 30k
In 2023, we already surpassed that! Thank you to everyone who’s supported the development!
I’m super excited for 2024 and looking forward to seeing people play the full game ❤️👻
👋 hello to the new followers!
In Love, Ghostie, YOU play as a ghost matchmaker and you can pair ANY couple you want!
There are 12 residents, which means over 60 combinations of couples 💘
Make sure to wishlist on Steam ⬇️ a NEW demo is coming SOON!!
Inspired by Ocarina of Time, we've added a way for you to sing songs to your residents in Love, Ghostie!
This was so fun to design and
@sam_vandersluis
did an AWESOME job coming up 4 very different songs with only 4 notes!
Sound on 🔊⬇️
Time to introduce the 12th and last resident in Love, Ghostie: Felix the elephant!
He's a bit of an oddball and sees the world a bit differently than everyone else
He's one of my favorite residents, and I can't help but laugh at his lines from his relationship talks:
SO honored to have made it to this list of 10 Best Steam Next Fest Demos!
As Steam Next Fest approaches, wishlisting is SUPER important for us! Please wishlist Love, Ghostie, play the demo, tell your friends! It's been really hard to stand out this year, so any visibility helps!
OMG!!!! Love, Ghostie got featured!!!!!
Thank you so much for featuring and reviewing our game and demo!!!!
