I think my copy of Ghost in The Machine is bugged...

Thank you @ilsole for editing the effects and audio!💕
Ghost in The Machine - @venomous-qwille
Picture this: it's Friday night. You got a drink in one hand, good company to your side, and an important mission to complete: steal a phone charm. That should be easy, right?
... Right?
Past, present, or future. What fate will the cards uncover?
After striking up conversation with a wandering terrifying mercenary in a remote tavern, he's agreed to travel together for a while before you go your separate ways.
That separation is approaching soon. To commemorate your final night together you suggest reading him his fortune; might be useful for the road ahead, right?
Except neither of you are particularly looking forward to saying goodbye..
HEY!?!? ARE YOU A TOUCHSTARVED FAN?? IF YES THEN LISTEN
i would like to introduce to you...
THIS AMAZING GAME! its a dark fantasy ANDDD romance game, so thats why im reaching out to you. (touchstarved game freaks../j)
It has four protagonists, if i would describe them in a couple of words we would have:
1.Oleander(no i did not make this up ts fans this is literally his name): ooeeh rich rich man 😜
2.Cirrus: ah yes im just a humble priest with nothing suspicious about me yeah no absolutely not
3.Keir: sorry for lowkey kidnapping you, anyway ure kinda cool u wanna work for me 😊
4.Francesco(i thought his name was espresso when i started playing): the indomitable human spirit always wins! *gets stabbed*
the game currently has one chapter out and four routes with the protagonists, i would say the average play time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes? it depends on the person playing... ANYWAY uhm, i would really apreciate if you guys showed this game some love, i love love love love LOVEEE it and more people should know about it.
I love how whenever red spring posts something about Leander I stop whatever I was doing and start going full MatPat mode. He genuinely makes me lose my mind in the best way possible.
I spent the day working on (hopefully) final concept art for the mysterious Myster, a love interest who will be introduced in the next demo. ... I can't promise he'll show up in person, but you should be able to talk to him!
I've been working on both his heroic and his civilian design for more than three!! years!!!
His hero suit was inspired by: Lelouch/Zero Code Geass, Berzerker Fate/Zero, Zer0 Borderlands 2, and a set of scifi League skins. ... Weird that the first three sources all use the word "zero" somewhere but that's not the focus of our devlog today.
I've also started working on some sprite expressions for Griffin - not ready to show those off just yet but they're coming along, here's a sketch page I made before transitioning to digital art -
I wrote a decent amount, I believe somewhere over 600 words including some important variable-based scenes and menu choices... I'm pretty sure I started coding in and formatting that scene while I was at it.
I also BACKED UP MY FILES somehow I hadn't backed up my files for months!!! I guess I let that get away from me after the demo came out, but I definitely had to get back into the practice.
More cut-in style images by Talentlesshuman (that's a username and not an accurate description of the work done, haha)! These are such a cute touch to the Moments.

if you want to support a lesbian, you can read my visual novel about a girl who runs to a facility in the middle of nowhere to deal with her mental illness. there’s a robot, bunnies, a bit of tom lehrer, and some other fun things. do heed the content warnings.
leave a comment and rating as well if you want to make my day even more. thank you
