The Ghost Cage: a short and light-hearted adventure game


The Ghost Cage is now available to download for free!

Isabel has just moved into a new home, but it turns out it's haunted by a ghost. Should she try to ignore the ghost, befriend it, or chase it out of the house? The outcome of the game depends on the choices you make and the items you find.

This short and light-hearted adventure game was made in less than 20 days for the horror-themed Spooktober Spooktacular Game Jam, but it's not a horror game. I hope you'll think it's fun and funny!

The spirit of this game (pardon the pun!) and a couple scenes were loosely inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost (which is available on Project Gutenberg). The story features a ghost who's baffled by the very practical attitude of the people who've just moved into the house, but the ghost also responds to the kindness of one of the characters, and it's one of my favorite short stories.

Nice mini-game, I enjoyed it!! :)

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know!

By the way I had ending with befriending and living with the ghost, but I'm curious about the well... I'm sure and I think I know what's inside, I want that ending! I need to know more about the boy! I'll try again today.

Yup, if you can get into the well, that's the main storyline ending! Let me know if you want a hint.
