About the Game

【Story】

In a world plagued by Schizosoma—a flesh-splitting disease that turns people into ghosts—it's become normal for society to leave the cleanup to professional ghost sweepers.

Ricardo, a washed-up temp cleaner, takes a job scraping ghost flesh off the streets. It’s grim work... but it pays.

【About the Game】

  • Dig Night is an RPG made in RPG Maker VX Ace, blending dark comedy and surreal exploration with retro flavor.

  • A Strange World:

    Welcome to a city where ghostification is just another part of daily life. The atmosphere is both bleak and absurd.

  • Puzzle-Solving & Mental Realms:

    Ghosts linger not just in flesh—but in mind. Solve puzzles and dive into their inner worlds to uncover their pasts.

  • Narrative-Driven:

    The story unfolds through exploration, letting you piece together each ghost’s life—and what remains of it.

  • Retro Vibes:

    Pixel art and classic BGM give it the charm of old-school RPGs, with a gritty twist.

  • Unique Systems:

    Save by smoking cigarettes. Restore health by sleeping. Nothing here works quite like you'd expect.
