The adventure

A historic flood has swept through your hometown in Moko valley, wiping out homes and soaking the region in syrupy sludge from the destroyed local candy factory. Somehow, this event has unleashed long-forgotten spirits - ghost cats that steal your supplies and wreak havoc. You volunteer to help in a quickly self-organized group. With zero training. Off to a great start!

Interact with a wide variety of characters - rich and poor, intellectual and hands-on - each finding their own way to cope with loss and despair. But who is responsible for cleaning up the remains of the destroyed candy factory? And then the owners of the factory have the best idea: rebuild the historic town as a luxury spa & wellness refuge for millionaires. Seriously?

As clashing interests and worldviews collide, can you hold the volunteer group together against all odds? Or do you find it more entertaining to add fuel to the fire?

The levels

Deliver relief goods to displaced residents. But beware of wind scattering your supplies across the floodplains and fog obscuring your view. And of ghost cats who might decide that your canned beans now belong to the afterlife. You’ll need clever thinking and good timing to get the supplies where they are needed. And maybe you can learn to work with the forces of nature instead of against them. Just an idea.

Behind the curtains

We are Chris and Bernard and we are the driving forces behind the game.

Bernard is a cat enthusiast and a passionate programmer—two things that heavily influence the game. Expect plenty of ghost cats and (fingers crossed) as few bugs as possible by launch day.

Chris has worked in sustainability NGOs and will draw on their experiences for the story & 3D art. They find it hard to stop playing the game before reaching three stars in a level.

We both love the magic when gameplay suddenly clicks into flow, so we are steadily developing and testing the game with a growing number of friends & fans.

Keep in mind: We are a dedicated but small team and this is not an AAA production. We like to create a simple game that can bring you joy with chaotic & funny puzzles and a very strange, yet heartfelt story.

Feedback? We’d love to hear from you. Just join our discord and see how we grow, have fun and sometimes fail while developing Where the Ghosts Are Damp.
