Give up the Ghost is a point-and-click roleplaying game set in a strange and tortured city. Play as the Overseer, a one-eyed wanderer tasked to solve the mystery of a deadly fire.

Taking inspiration from legendary games like Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment, Give up the Ghost is a story-based roleplaying adventure. Explore the dark streets of the city Forde, talk to the locals who live there, search for answers, and unveil a terrible secret. Confront the city’s past -- and through the choices you make in conversation -- you’ll determine the course of its future.

Give up the Ghost was born from a collective passion for roleplaying games and a dedication to creating art. The four of us met in university, brought together from disparate countries under a shared love of craft, and an awareness of the precarity from which good art originates. We’ve grown this story from the ground up. What began as a project in first-year became the central focus of our degree -- and has since become a fully-fledged RPG.Perhaps we’ve yet to be jaded by the cruelty of industry, but every day spent working on Give up the Ghost has been a labor of love. We can’t wait to share what we’ve made, and give back to good art what has been given to us.
