-20+ maps between main and secret levels (most of them can be revisited to hunt for extra items)

About This Game


Imagine – what if necromancy and magic spells were no different than writing some lines of code? In GHOSTWARE you’ll play as Molly, brought back to life and trapped inside of an arena shooter along with five other souls. But there is something inherently wrong with the world created by the mysterious Wizard.

GHOSTWARE is a mixture of hectic retro-fps action and slower pace of the adventure games. Gather your arsenal and journey through multiple dimensions, uncovering your role in the conspiracy surrounding the creation of The Arena.
