Ghost on the Shore

Ghost on the Shore is a story exploration game about emotional ties that persist beyond death. You play as Riley, a young woman stranded on a desolate island with Josh, a headstrong ghost who has been dead for as long as he can remember. As Riley pieces together the island’s history, she learns how it led to Josh’s death.

Explore the islands

You explore the scenery of The Rogue Islands on foot and talk with Josh about the islands’ history, his memories and feelings, and Riley’s dreams, goals and reasons for running from her old life. Together, you find belongings left by the islanders and uncover the stories behind them, building a picture of life there before people began to leave.

Shape your relationship

Dialogue choices shape Riley’s bond with Josh and influence the game’s outcome. Each option appears only once, making every choice definite; you may not know how your words will affect him. Your choices can make conversations fun, exciting or awkward.

The relationship you build determines which of four narrative branches you explore, each with a different ending. You also gather clues and investigate what happened on the island.
