Symposium of Grief
A downloadable game for Windows
-------
'I envy anyone who can't relate to this game.'
You are a sad Ghost who has somehow ended up with half a heart, a real bummer. You need to find the other half in order to fix this mess you've probably gotten yourself in if we're being honest.
But where has your heart gone? How are you supposed to find it? How could you have lost something that was so crucial to your identity? Nerd.
These are all difficult questions that we can elect to ignore in favor on focuses on the trivial tasks that appear, because these surely will help Ghost find their heart. Right?
FORESHADOWING ALERT: Belly lint and teeth are in fact key items in the game.
-Look forward to patting DOGS!-

wow, i don't even know where to start, this whole ride was fantastic!
all the art and sprites look unique and lovely, i love the game design + mechanisms and even though this revolved around deep and touching topics, the comedy still hits right! plus the interactions with familiars are so precious asdcjasdjnfm
and the soundtrack, GOD the soundtrack 😫 it suits the atmosphere and theme so well!!

i first played this probably 2-3 years ago and i still think about it once a month tbh. thank you so much for it
fucking loved it. no other words are needed.
I hate the fact that this game is just blatantly underrated. This game made me feel emotions, damn! It made me laugh, it made me love, it made me smile, it made me cry. We really need more games like this. It's so edgy and cute, I love it! Thank you so much for making this game!
I made an account just to let you know this game is fucking amazing and I love you. thanks for making it. it's real funny and good and I'm gonna tell all my friends. I wish we could hang out in person so I could tell you how great your game is and buy you a snack. You've really made me happy with this game about something so sad. Thanks again, have a good day :)
i feel stupid but I use directional buttons and space bar. I go around town and I cant interact with anyone. I try to spacebar my mailbox and nothing. is there something wrong or am I not doing something right?
E is the interact button for non-door related objects!
T-Dog! Didn't see you round Pax or Megadev this year but I think I walked past you and ya pal tonight near Duke's and all your work came flooding back! I hope you're doing gr8 d00d, excited to see more of your work in the future. Still holding onto your business card after all this time!
