About Love, Ghostie
Love, Ghostie is a cozy single‑player management game where you play as a friendly ghost tasked with matchmaking residents of a manor. The game runs for three to six hours per playthrough, depending on how quickly you pair couples and how much you explore the romance options.
With twelve residents, you can create any of the sixty‑six possible pairings, each with its own storyline. New Game+ lets you carry over discovered dates and conversations, while unlockable minigames, manor upgrades, and ghostie hats add extra layers to the matchmaking experience.
