Independent developer
Games that refuse to stay inside the window.
Strange companions, mischievous systems, and stories with a little darkness. Welcome to the worlds of ShuGhost.
Available on Steam
Choose your kind of chaos.
Two very different games, both built independently with care.
Desktop Gremlins
Meet a mischievous desktop companion that evolves, reacts to your programs and music, and occasionally decides your open windows need a little chaos.
- Four evolving character forms
- Music and application reactions
- Community sprite packs via Steam Workshop
DR. VIOLET'S NIGHT OFF
A quiet night, a complicated doctor, and a story that becomes more personal than expected. Step into Violet's world when her carefully controlled routine breaks.
- Character-driven narrative
- Dark, intimate atmosphere
- A compact independent experience
