Thank you so much for playing the demo and providing feedback. Here's a small hotfix to improve your demo expierience:

• Changed default audio mix settings;
  
• Changed game icon;
  
• Increased delay between Phineas' cues;
  
• Improved camera settings - movement and rotation sensitivity sliders offer a wider range;

• Fixed ghost exposure reduction not working when they were sent back;

Hey, my Master! It’s Pesky Imp here—the pesky spirit who stirred up trouble again… but this time for the better! The Ghost Keeper demo has just surfaced from the darkest depths! We’re opening up a world where you command ghosts, demons, and monsters. And not just any spirits—each has unique abilities just waiting for you to discover and unleash against the mortals…

Just look at those spirits, dancing in the shadows, sneaking through the corridors of our cursed realm. Even I get chills watching them sometimes.

Quiet, Pesky, don’t scare them yet. Master, our team, though smaller than a horde of spirits, has worked tirelessly to bring you this demo. This is our first ritual, unveiling a glimpse of the darkness before you. Your thoughts and feedback are the light that will help us perfect every ethereal detail.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Pesky Imp[/h3]
And that’s exactly why we need your help, Master! We’ve prepared a survey – a book of wishes and curses. Which spirits should step out of the shadows? What else should creak and howl in the night? Every word from you is like a spell that strengthens our world. Thanks to you, the ghosts will become even scarier, and the darkness thicker and more enchanting.

And if you feel like praising me - the best Pesky Imp in the world - go ahead, I definitely appreciate it!

[h3]Clever Imp[/h3]
As always, Pesky only thinks about himself. This demo is our first step towards taking control of this cursed world of mortals. Together, we’ll make Ghost Keeper a legend—told by the living around campfires to scare their offspring, friends, and roommates with weak nerves.

[h3]Pesky Imp[/h3]
Remember—haunting isn’t just about screams and torches; it’s strategy, planning, and domination over mortals! As our Master, you:

• issue orders and manage the task queue of your underlings,
  
• utilize their unique abilities,
  
• recruit monsters with diverse styles,
  
• and gradually develop their power through successive stages.

[h3]Clever Imp[/h3]
Play, test, explore — and let us know what you think in our specially prepared survey. Your feedback is more precious to us than the Philosopher’s Stone.

Don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist – that way, more mortals will hear the whispers beyond the veil of reality and tremble before our power!

Close your eyes, listen to the whispers through the walls… and start haunting.

And if you scare your neighbor so badly they run away screaming — write to me, and I’ll give you a badge!

Best regards,
The Clever and Pesky Imps.

Clever Imp made me apologise first for the whole router mess – I know, I know, our last report was a little delayed thanks to my tiny little network disaster...But hey, everything’s working now!

As you probably already know, we’re working on something BIG. Clever Imp told me to keep my mouth shut and not spill any important secrets… but you know how he is – always so dramatic and desperate to be the center of attention.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Tomorrow, something haunting is coming… something that will shake both the spirit realm and the world of the living. And I’m not talking about another ghost lurking in the hallway – I mean something BIG. Our smarty-pants Clever tried to shut me up (he even threatened to make me clean the entire dungeon if I spilled anything), but I just couldn’t resist.

I know you, my Master – you like to stay ahead of the whispers in the dark!

Since we’re on the topic, I might as well spill a little more!
Oh, wait… Clever Imp is coming!
I hear his footsteps! Gotta run before he catches me!

See you tomorrow, Master! Oh, and don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist.
I promise, things are about to get wild!

Oh, and JDM: Japanese Drift Master has officially launched on Steam! It's an open world set in the heart of Japan with hair-raising turns and enough adrenaline to wake the dead — not that I'd recommend it!

Slip behind the wheel, master the art of drifting and embark on a journey along winding Japanese roads.

Dear Master, Clever Imp reporting in—yes, a little late, I admit—from deep within our shadowy operations base. You may have noticed it’s been eerily quiet for a while... Well, let’s just say the one responsible has horns, a tail, and an exceptional talent for pressing buttons that should never be pushed. Yes, Pesky Imp decided to “upgrade” our communications system. The result? Darkness. Silence. Weeks of complete disconnection from the world.

But worry not! We’re alive, intact (well, except for the router and ISP - those will never be the same again), and more importantly, we’re working at full speed with a new team!

Behind the scenes, hidden in the shadows and the dust of ancient tomes, more is happening than you might imagine. We’re recruiting new ghosts—some loud and explosive, others whispery and mysterious. Each must pass a proper haunting trial and an ethereal presence check. A few might even become true stars of our spooky little realm.

And while I can’t reveal too much just yet (Pesky has already three times tried to leak secrets on Discord—don’t believe a word he says without checking with me!), I can promise you one thing, Master: something BIG is coming. Something that might just rattle the world of the living.

That’s all for now. With my cold, ghostly heart in hand, I swear I’ll be more punctual next time. I’ll even send Pesky your way soon to explain himself in person.
Until then—I vanish!

Sincerely,
Clever Imp.

Master! Yes, it's me, your faithful Pesky Imp, whom you must have recognized as a ghost... I haven't written anything for a long time. But forgive me, recruiting new ghosts is serious business! Imagine what a challenge it's been to persuade all those marauding phantoms and fretful demons to join our team. You know, one wants fried bats for dinner twice a day, the other wants a separate bedroom and the sound of the sea outside the window. No words!

But... I'm back just in time to bring you some great news. After all, today is our holiday - Halloween! Ghost Keeper has found its way to Scream Fest Steam 2024! That's right, Master - our spooky team is taking to the world.


[h2]What about the news? New POV mode![/h2]
I have even better news for you. We are working on a POV mode that will allow you to see everything through the eyes of .... mortals. Imagine stepping into the shoes of a poor man wandering through a haunted house. You hear murmurs, you feel an icy chill, and the shadows in the dark corners make you break out in a cold sweat.



I'm telling you, Master, POV is not just a mode - it's like living (and dying!) from the perspective of those poor unfortunates we usually scare. This mode allows you to see, hear, and feel every terrifying step of our fear arsenal. It's fun to work on - watching the demons practice their scariest tricks in front of the mirror before wreaking havoc!



Master, stay tuned for more news from the ghost dimension for this is just the beginning. Halloween is our time, and Ghost Keeper isn't slowing down! And you might want to grab some popcorn... mortals don't know what's in store for them.

Happy haunting!
