About the Game

Catch ghosts. Sell. Upgrade. Explore the mansion.

Purrgeist is a cozy-spooky incremental: a little ghost-catching cat with a spectral vacuum explores a haunted mansion, room by room. Short runs, satisfying progression, and a comfy haunted vibe.

How it plays:

  • Quick runs: Drop into a room, vacuum up all the ectoplasm you can, and dodge the heavy-hitter ghosts before fear runs you out.

  • The good kind of farming: Use your gear to harvest different spectral essences and materials across the mansion.

  • Get rich (and stronger): Sell your haul for coins and pour them into a massive talent tree.

  • Explore the mansion: Unlock new rooms — harder and darker, but with way better loot.

What you'll find:

  • A constellation-style talent tree with dozens of upgrades.

  • Ghosts with distinct behaviors (not all of them go quietly).

  • Secondary weapons to unlock and power up.

  • A dual economy: coins and essences that change per floor.

  • Lovely pixel-art, dynamic lighting, and chill cozy music to farm to.

  • That classic "just one more run" (spoiler: it's never just one).
