I've been taking a break from replying to people because I've been in kind of a bad place but I'm genuinely shocked you found that.

There was another ghost in an earlier version of the game that shouldn't be available on itch.io any longer. She had rng to appear and I set the odds to something really low like 1 in 999 plays.

I edited that ghost out in later versions but I kept a dummied out form that shouldn't be able to actually appear in game just to avoid breaking the ending system.

I originally intended five different endings and an extra area but they changed the tone of the game too much.

I decided it was better to keep the experience of the game as it was because it meant something to people and I didn't want to ruin that.

I talked to the ghost too. It said that their friend needed help and that their friend's spirit was trapped as a ghost and said that we could help her, maybe in a sequel.

Yes, I am actively working on that sequel now.

It isn't really ready to be shown off yet but I am super excited to be working on it. The scope has expanded a lot since I made this game. The game is also probably going to be a little darker than this one since I made this game pretty cheerful intentionally.

It'll be the same main character except she will go on more adventures including meeting another trans woman who got trapped as a ghost, a time traveling witch from a queer utopian future, and another trans woman who discovered the magical website but wasn't satisfied just knowing what people think.

I don't know if it will be as tightly focused as this game was but my overall goal is to more deeply explore what it means to pass in a bunch of different meanings of the word.

On a side note, I am genuinely amazed you managed to find that ghost because they were supposed to be removed from the latest version of the game. I have no idea how you found that ghost but hopefully it didn't cause any glitches.

I'd feel really bad if people accidentally stumbled into buggy cut areas of the game that were never fully finished.
