Game Description
You are a ghost living in a long forgotten basement of an otherwise unremarkable suburban home. It has been your dream to live again and travel the world, but that dream has so far gone unrealized One evening, the Magnificent Grandmaster of the Underworld pays you a visit. He offers you a trade. If you can siphon enough spectral energy from the hosts of the house, he will grant you your wish. The homeowners here are nice people, but really don't enjoy their personal belongings turned into spectral energy. Can you siphon enough energy to make a deal with a lord of the underworld?
How does your game tie into the theme?
Parasitic relationships come in all forms, we figured. The unsuspecting hosts living in the floors above have some nice things, from delicious baked goods to grand pianos. A ghost taking earthly items for personal gain, deal with a lord of the underworld, is a fun twist on parasitic behavior.

Aw you deserve way more plays. This is a fun game. I think people are put off by having to download games. Giving yourself a web version will help next time. I made the same mistake on my first GWJ entry.
I completed on easy and normal modes and you've done a really good job here on all the key elements of gameplay. It was fun, challenging and atmospheric. Also quite a humorous concept I'd say.
This is great to hear, thank you! Having a web version is definitely a lesson we have learned the hard way, so thanks for confirming that :')
So glad you enjoyed it!
very fun game and for a first game jam its amazing as somoene said before its a little hard to navigate sometimes but yea
overall very good entry
thank you for taking a look at our game! we appreciate the feedback as well.
Pretty fun game! A little hard to navigate sometimes, but I really liked the idea of being able to go through walls unless you're holding a physical object, and having to leave the loot behind to escape if the hosts corner you. Nice job!
Thanks! We wanted the exploration to be part of the challenge but good feedback that we might have overdone it a bit. Really appreciate you giving it a shot :)
