About the Game



Arm yourself with sticky boots, a smart-pistol, and the titular 'Goosthetic' grappling prosthetic to swing, slide, jump, boost, and shoot your way out of a twisted and abandoned scientific facility! Goosthetic is a fast-paced action-platformer FPS that follows a rejected human subject as he tries to escape captivity and dodge freakish slime mutations as fast as possible.



  • Use a plethora of movement abilities to navigate through the lab at high speeds. Run, jump, slide, boost, and grapple your way out!
  • Annihilate Exploders, Turrets, and flying Dummies with your pistol, one at a time with single-fire action or multiple with its Lock-On ability.
  • Enjoy a rich, gooey environment and fantastic music to jam to as you dodge obstacles as quickly as you can.
