About the Game

Story:

Within the republic of Wilsbury, in the capital of Ede exists a curious little shop. Welcome to Ghostwriter Workshop where we'll use an assortment of expressions to convey your exact thoughts and feelings...from love letters to invitations to duel, apologies to contracts--you name it, we write it!

"We'll use an assortment of expressions to convey your exact thoughts and feelings...from love letters to invitations to duel, apologies to contracts--you name it, we write it!"

Become a staff member at Ghostwriter Workshop and put your composition skills to the test!

You--being the incredibly impulsive person you are--decide the concluding remarks of all your letters via roulette.

Flub things up and everything turns into gibberish; love letters end up filled with insults, and apologies lead to further uproar.

It's still no reason to let writer's block get to you, though. Just keep those letters coming, no matter how absurd.

After all, you won't get fired, and your wages only increase.



Building on the free version of Ghostwriter Workshop as Episode 1, this version adds Episodes 2 through 5 to greatly enhance the game!



Starting in Episode 2, you can explore the town in search of words in line with your clients' requests. Listen closely to what these 11 quirky characters have to say, and search for the best words using roulette! Most of the time, your efforts are ruined thanks to you memorizing uncalled-for expressions.
