Press release:
PQube (London, UK) – May 23rd, 2023.
The London-based (the UK) video games publisher PQube and Japan-based indie games developer Chosuido, are today very proud and glad to announce that their lo-fi anime-styled VN “ghostpia“, is available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop (“ghostpia season one” is also available for PC via Steam).
“In my dreams, I can get out. In my dreams, I can fit in”
‘ghostpia season one’ is a unique ghost story that follows Sayoko, a forgetful ghost struggling to recall her past and her purpose. With a unique art style, ability to rewind like a VCR, and a linear story that takes the stress out of deciding dialogue options, ‘ghostpia season one’ is full of the mysteries in Sayoko’s forgotten memories, and how the ghost town she lives in came to be.
Immerse yourself in a rich 100% narrative journey – With no branching routes or events, you can fully enjoy the unique storytelling as you would any good movie. Even pause, fast-forward and rewind as you please to view at your own pace.
Delicately illustrated art style reminiscent of a children’s book featuring glitch and noise effects to evoke a nostalgic visual novel vibe. A lo-fi aesthetic to compliment the classic visual novel experience.
Quirky yet relatable characters with the ability to revive again and again…they may be ghosts, but they still worry about friendship, loneliness and home décor?!
A captivating Japanese ‘denshi’ (digital graphical novel) with a dark, complex storyline that strikes your emotions and has you experiencing the comedic fun, the violent dangers, the lonely struggles and the absolutely bizarre alongside the characters in all 5 episodes.
Playful atmospheric soundtrack that hits all the right spots to create the perfect cinematic experience, alongside surprising sound effects that replace voice lines.
‘ghostpia season one’ is Out Now on Nintendo Switch!
The developers will also be publishing ‘ghostpia season one’ on Steam, coming soon
EXPERIENCE SAYOKO’S BIZARRE MEMORIES
They say this is an ideal town, a true utopia for ghosts…but is it really? Can you really call this place a utopia? More than anything Sayoko longs to return home, but that may prove harder than it seems. With forgotten memories to recover and a mysterious girl to investigate Sayoko has her hands full.
Experience Sayoko’s life in this odd town and the bizarre events that surround her through five episodes, including a corrupt controlling church, rescuing a new ghost, finding a job, exposing & fighting a local drug lord, and creating a robot!
