Speed Dating for Ghosts is a narrative-driven game where you visit the afterlife to meet a variety of spectral singles. From a ghost who was a bank robber to one who is just a literal door, you'll engage in conversations that range from the absurd to the deeply emotional. Choose who to date, pick your responses, and uncover the moving stories behind each character in this critically acclaimed indie gem.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

94/100

Speed Dating for Ghosts is one of the most charming, bizarre, and unexpectedly moving games I've played in years. It takes a premise that sounds like a joke and turns it into a series of poignant vignettes about life, death, and what we leave behind. Each ghost you meet has a distinct personality—some are hilarious, some are terrifying, and some will absolutely break your heart.

The writing is the absolute standout here. It's sharp, witty, and deeply human for a game about dead people. The branching dialogue feels meaningful, and you genuinely want to learn more about each character's 'afterlife' struggles. It’s a short experience, but it lingers in your mind long after you've finished your last date. This isn't just a dating sim; it's a beautiful exploration of the human condition.

Q&A

While there are some spooky themes and 'scary' ghosts, it is primarily a narrative drama/comedy. It focuses on storytelling rather than jump scares.

Fully Finished and Loved every part
Wed Jun 15 2022 Judas_Lost

I have completely finished the game and it was worth every cent! The characters were interesting and surprisingly fleshed out for a game about speed dating. I love the little gravestones you get after finishing the dates as well as the dates themselves! The only thing I wish I knew going in is if you want to experience every ghosts date you have to accept their invitation at the end. If you don’t you might have to reset to then go back and accept it but as it is speed dating its super quick to do. Overall a great game that made me really happy. Also there is a Ghost dog that you can pet who wags his tail so if you weren’t already sold then that makes it worth it alone.

Amazing game

This game is a piece of art. From the background music, its storyline and the style of animation, everything is just incredible. I finished the game in one night because i wanted to know who i was going to meet next. My only complaint is that the game itself only has 14 datable characters and you only talk to them a count of 4 times each. Each character you meet is so incredible and interesting i just wish they all had a little more dialogue and more dates. I guess i just want a longer game!! I’m dying for an update with more characters and dates! hopefully we’ll get them, but until then i’ll be replaying and seeing how my choices affect the outcomes! ❤️❤️

This is an amazing game. Now I’m really into tv shows, movies, games, anything really that is out of the norm. Stuff you’ve never really seen before, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Just overall weird stuff. And this game is exactly that. You will never play another game like this one which is partially why this game is so great. The stories, the gameplay, everything is so unique and exceptional. I would 100% recommend this game to anyone looking for a new experience, this isn’t like most games you can get. This is a story, an experience. Absolutely worth the money.

This game is such a great way to spend your time on! I haven’t encountered any flaws or bugs, the game has a bunch of different outcomes you can explore, the art and colors caught my eyes and it was overall a great experience. The music and effects were so simple and cute but they were so perfect and not too much nor too little! This is definitely a must and I highly recommend this game!!!

Spoopy and amazing!

From the music to the characters, I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. The music is one thing that I personally really enjoyed, but I definitely got a kick out of mingling with all the ghosts and getting to know them. It’s definitely worth a replay! I’m glad I got to play it because I genuinely wasn’t expecting some of the characters to be so deep; I’d really love to see possibly some more characters or a bit more story. But overall loved it! 💚

I’m in love with a ghost

This is one of the girls cut my heart and I just fell in love with this game and I played it for about a month until I deleted it and now that I download it again I remember one of the girls that caught my heart and he still has a special place in my heart if you’re wondering which ghost that is it’s The scared ghost I forgot his name…😅 but still a great game!👍

Fun Spooky Speed Dating!

First I wanna say give this game a try!! The characters are all different and unique. First few I met were nice and had lovely things going on about them, then I met one or two that gave me chills. This game is silly and I love it! They are quirky and cheeky, some are easy to read and others are moody and almost sinister :) thank you for this game. Made my night!

HEART WARMING!
Sat Mar 16 2024 GioTheGentleman

The subtle art style of this game combines heart warming interactions, fantastic comedy, well written characters & surprisingly deep subject matter in to one perfect package. I highly encourage you to get to know ALL of the characters. 10/10 would definitely recommend! Wish there was more!
