For the Ghosts

For the Ghosts is a visual novel where fictional characters interact with you, the player. You talk with them, share things you like and drink warm beverages. As you get to know them, fragments woven into the conversations reveal what has happened to them and help you work out what to do.

The characters

You can try to become friends with the characters, though you do not have to.

• ねずみ: A girl with grayish-white hair and green eyes who loves her friends and often talks about them. She enjoys sharing her interests and would like to do the same with you.
• さかな: Says they have nothing to talk about with you, because they hate you and believe you may destroy them.
• Acryl: A girl with silver hair and rose-colored eyes who is always thinking and talking about everyone, including you. Her easygoing, unhurried manner is meant to spare you from feeling obliged to accommodate her, and to keep her from appealing to your emotions.
• 彩度: A girl with olive-ash hair and brown eyes. She is awkward and unfriendly, but tries to communicate in her own way. Each time you visit, she serves you a carefully prepared drink as a gesture of connection. Compared with the others, she struggles to express her feelings and act naturally.

The title also evokes the boundary between presence and absence, and between what can and cannot be seen: something that is neither dead nor alive.
