About the Game

“A comic-styled metaphysical retro-futuristic narrative adventure”

Play as Wei Song, a retired technician and prize fighter driven to a fateful climb that ends in immortality and makes him an enemy of the most powerful man on the planet.

Set in a distant future where humanity has successfully evacuated to Mars, ‘Future Ghost’ uses a combination of light point & click gameplay with turn-based combat and varied mini-game style interludes and puzzles to tell Song’s story.

• A complex narrative & deep characters

• Graphics reminiscent of mid-'80s comic print

• Point & click gameplay (also keyboard & controller-friendly)

• Original soundtrack by Old Man May (Nigel Firth, ex-Vienna Ditto)

• JRPG-style turn-based combat

• Powerful starting moves and many more to master

• Common-sense problem-solving "puzzles" inspired by reality

• Fights that are intrinsically linked to the narrative

• Timeline that fills in as you progress

• Manual levelling-up for custom stat-based character builds

Future Ghost is a blend of old-school 2D point & click adventure game with JRPG-style battles thrown in, telling a genre-bending story 20 years in the making.
