Branching dialogue! Hard choices! A cemetery's worth of phantoms, wraiths, and poltergeists lookin' for love in all the blight places.
The core gameplay loop involves going through a "speed dating" session with three different ghosts in each of the game's rooms. Players have two rounds of brief conversations with the ghosts, after which they can choose one ghost to go on a more extended date with. The game features branching dialogue options that can lead to markedly different outcomes and unlock more information about each ghost's backstory and personality.
The dialogue options allow players to shape their interactions with the ghosts in meaningful ways, enabling them to be empathetic, flirtatious, dismissive, or even outright rude in their responses. These choices visibly impact the ghosts' reactions and how they open up (or close off) to the player over the course of the conversation.
Players highlight the cast of unique and well-developed ghost characters, each with their own distinct personality, backstory, and motivations that are gradually revealed through the dialogue. Reviewers describe feeling a genuine sense of care and relatability towards the ghosts as they get to know them.
While the core premise is lighthearted, the game tackles deeper themes like mortality, grief, and the search for purpose and connection in the afterlife. The stories of the ghosts are often poignant and thought-provoking, leading some players to become emotionally invested in the characters' personal journeys.
Given the branching nature of the conversations, the game encourages multiple playthroughs to see the different outcomes and uncover the full stories of each ghost. Players praise how their choices can lead to a variety of conclusions for the dates, from heartwarming to bittersweet, which adds to the game's replayability and the sense that their decisions matter.
