"In my dreams, I can get out. In my dreams, I can fit in." 'ghostpia' mixes the adorable art style of an illustrated book with glitches-and-noise effects. There are no choices to be made. There's only a lonely girl in a ghost town and her story full of mystery, friendhood...and a bit of violence.

Isolated from the world by snow, a town lies barren near the farthest station. A town exists where ghosts flood the streets at night. But we aren't really ghosts. We are immortal. Unable to die, with our unending lives, we took to referring to ourselves like that. They say this is an ideal town. A true utopia for ghosts. “But is it really? Can you really call this place a utopia?” This is Sayako, and her plight. For you see, Sayako is the only one in town who doesn't truly belong. All the while she is sharing a room with the mysterious new girl in town, Yoru. More than anything in the world,(Storyline via IGDB)
