6 Year Anniversary


Hello, Ghostory fans! It's soon to be 6 years since Ghostory was released. It's been an incredible journey, and we thank you all for your support. We're thankful for each and every one of you who has explored the perilous caves of our game and we would love to get more people to enjoy it the same. Therefore, we would kindly ask you all to leave the game a Steam review! They help the game get more visibility and influence players when deciding about their purchase. Thank you so much! To give back, we're conjuring an 80% discount over the next week. Now is the perfect time to introduce your friends, family, and fellow adventurers to the wonders of Ghostory. Let's welcome new travellers into our community! Additionally, in preparation to celebrate Halloween, the carved pumpkins make their return into the main menu again for the duration of the month. Get spooked! Once again, thank you all, RigidCore Games team

Happy Halloween!


Halloween is here again! Since it's the most ghastly time of the year, we are celebrating early this time. Together with some bugfixes and small updates, this new patch makes all main menu backgrounds spookified by pumpkins! They will stay only until the end of the halloween season, make sure you don't miss them. However, halloween is not the only thing to celebrate. Tomorrow it's our 2-year release anniversary. So, we have one more announcement: a 75% sale! It's the biggest we've had so far, make sure to let your friends know so they can lift their spirits with some puzzles as well.

11 new languages to get punned in!

The more languages you know, the more you are a ghost! Over half a year has passed since the release of Ghostory last October. We've tried to stay in close touch with the community in the meantime and brought you updates regularly. However, we've always known there is a big mass of players out there that would enjoy Ghostory, but couldn't. That's why we decided to extend the pool of languages in which Ghostory can be played - so today, in the biggest post-release update so far, we are proud to present you the following translations: Brazilian-Portuguese, Bulgarian, Danish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish! To finish this update off, we are also launching a two-week 40% discount!

  • Public Linux depots

  • Ghostory is a 2D platformer based on switching between a human form and a ghost form to pass various puzzles. It is underlined by a light-minded, yet engaging plot and retro-styled pixel art graphics.


    In human form, the player can interact with levers, keys or backpack. In ghost form, the player can fly or pass through walls. The player has to cleverly use both forms to get the backpack out of the cave.

    Throughout the game, you pass through dozens of carefully-crafted levels which test your logical thinking. New mechanics and unique puzzles get introduced the deeper you get into the cave, making the game easy to get into, but always challenging and non-repetitive.


    • Puzzles: Loads of unique levels and complex puzzles
    • Story: An engaging and deep, yet a little bit crazy and pun-heavy storyline
    • Atmosphere: Well-suited music for each level, multiple detailed environments
    • Gameplay: Smooth and responsive mechanics


    In Ghostory, you take role of a lone traveller who got lost in the woods. He drinks from an unknown lake and gets affected by a curse - he can transform to a ghost and fly. However, he is slowly dying.

    Thankfully, he meets an old lady (with her own sense of humour) which can help him prepare an antidote - but she needs a special mushroom for it. Even though he finds the mushroom pretty fast in a cave nearby, a very unlucky earthquake occurs, trapping him inside. Will he find his way out? What secrets await him in the cave? Will the cure even work?

    Find out yourself!
