The visual novel game ghostpia Season One, developed by the Japanese indie team Chosuido and published by yokaze, has officially been listed on the Steam store today. The game is scheduled for release on August 22, 2023. It's worth mentioning that aside from Steam, the game was also released on Nintendo Switch earlier this year in March.
Below is a brief description of the game's plot, according to the game's official Steam page:
Isolated from the world by snow, a town lies barren near a terminal station.
There lies a town where ghosts flood the streets at night.
But they aren't really ghosts. They are immortal. Unable to die, with their neverending lives, they took to referring to themselves like that.
They say this is an ideal town. A true utopia for ghosts.
"But is it really? Can you really call this place a utopia?"
This is Sayako, and that is her plight.
For you see, Sayako is the only one in town who doesn't truly belong there.
All the while she is sharing a room with the mysterious new face, Yoru.
More than anything in the world, Sayako longs to return to her hometown.
To set off beyond the unfathomable vast desert of snow, beyond where nobody has ever gone.
To the home she can only dream is out there.
To be able to remember what she has forgotten: the thing she holds the most dear.
That is her dream.
“In my dreams, I can get out. In my dreams, I can fit in.”
