Ghost#Dialer Demo
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Ghost-Users? Wisemen? Strega?
What are these girls gunna do?
In response to the oppressive system around them, two high-schoolers create a space for themselves. A secret after-school club where they can explore and express themselves without judgment. Sharing sunsets together, playing JRPGs, and falling in love.
Until they realize that they're ensnared in a tangled web of self-hatred, woven by the venomous adults around them. A mysterious number reveals to Kite, our protagonist, the path they must follow if they are to break free. Kite isn't sure who they can trust, as a proclamation of love leads into a dangerous adventure against unknown forces.
Ghost#Dialer is a highly-aestheticized supernatural mystery about discovering our truths, and unleashing the power we all possess inside of us. Manifesting our truest selves to wield that power against those that deny our humanity. Featuring characters across a wide spectrum of races, genders, and sexualities. A love letter to 90s and early 2000s anime and video games. Created solely by Petra Circe - https://twitter.com/PetraCirce

Thank you for this gift. It was a beautiful experience, especially as another trans person, and the concept is fascinating. I hope you continue to push this work forward, and please share it with the world!
Thank you so much, this is such a reassuring comment and it's exactly why I felt the need to pursue this project! <3 The full release is coming very soon!
Ahhh, now I'm super excited!
The demo hit so hard. As a non-binary person, I related so much to Kite. The art is absolutely gorgeous and the music is so soothing. Sometimes, I just stopped playing just to gawk at the art and appreciate the music. I love Lain and Kite so much, they're so cute! I can't wait to play the entire game!
Thank you so so much~!! Your words on the art and music are super validating and amazing to hear. It means a great deal to me that you relate to and appreciate Kite and Lain, they mean so much to me and I can't wait for you to see the other characters as well!
I can't wait to see the rest of your characters, either! It's gonna be great! ♡♡♡
I loved this game so much!! The art was stunning, I really love how you did the monochromatic panels and the effects with the windows/lighting when the scene changed in the room. The story was also really intriguing! I loved the writing for Kite's image for themself, it really pulled me into their conflict.
Anyway, I'm excited for this and I'd definitely be following for updates!
Thank you so so much for this lovely comment~!! I appreciate you taking the time to play my lil demo, it's a project dear to my heart and I'm working hard to see it finished~ A lot of how Kite is written was based on my personal feelings when I was their age. It's proven to be very therapeutic to craft this story, so I'm happy if it resonates with others too. Thank you!
