We have some very good news today. ghostpia: Season One is getting a physical release for Nintendo Switch™ on March 13th, 2025! The game itself is the same as in the digital versions for both Nintendo Switch™ and Steam, but, as it's the first time ghostpia is released in a physical format, we've included some nice extras in the first edition, so that people who have already played the game can enjoy it too. If you're interested, you can preorder it right now!

- ghostpia: Season One - We're Overwhelmed! - 16 January 2025
Hello. This is Chosuido, ghostpia: Season One's dev team. We've already got our first taste of 2025—how was it for you people? As for us, we had a lot of new players thanks to the Winter Sale. We couldn't be more grateful. Also, early in the year, ghostpia: Season One's rating became "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam. The game's illustrator, Yamamoto Suzume, has drawn a new illustration to celebrate this wonderful achievement. As of January 2025, overwhelmingly positive seems to mean that there are at least 500 reviews, with at least 95% being positive. To be honest, we'd been dreaming of reaching this point since when the game first launched. Dream, mind you. We'd assumed it wasn't something we could realistically achieve. (After all, 500 reviews, regardless of whether they are positive or not, is impressive in itself!) So, we're using this piece of news to thank you for helping make…
- ghostpia: Season One has sold 10,000 copies! - 17 October 2024
Hello, everyone. This is Chosuido, the development team behind ghostpia: Season One. We're writing to celebrate a milestone we are very happy about. Counting all platforms and regions, ghostpia: Season One has now sold over 10,000 copies! Knowing that 10,000 people all over the world have bought and played our game fills us with joy! To celebrate, ghostpia's illustrator, Yamamoto Suzume, has drawn a brand-new illustration never seen before! Even though they got such a nice cake to celebrate the 10,000 copies, they're eating it sitting on the ground. That's just what you'd expect from them, and you can't help but smile. Of course, compared to the legends in the world of visual novels, 10,000 copies is nothing. But to us, it's a goal worthy of gratitude and celebration. The most marketable sub-genre within visual novels is that of romance sims. You know, the ones where you choose a girl a…

Hello, Chosuido here with some good news about ghostpia: Season One. ghostpia was first released on Steam in August of last year. How time flies! It's been half a year already.

With the latest update, ghostpia's Steam Deck compatibility has been changed to verified Steam officially agrees that playing it on Steam Deck is a wonderful experience!
