Das Geisterschiff and Der Geist series turn five years old today.
In these experimental dungeon crawlers, you play as a mech pilot and complete dangerous missions in a dying world.
These games offer unique wireframe-style visuals to simulate the "visual sensor" of your Robotic Combat Suit and atmospheric electronic music in the style of 80's electro-industrial.
The series enjoyed limited success, but these games remain special to me, as they started my career as an indie game developer.
All games are 66% off on Steam right now.

Also, we are making a new Der Geist game. It's in the early stages of development.
Thank you for your support over the years.

- Der Geisterturm / The Ghost Tower [LINUX] [216.19 M]
By 2074 the Earth turned into a scorched wasteland, forcing the population to leave the planet or move underground while two megacorps are stuck in an endless war over the territory and resources. After graduating from the military academy you've decided to join Eberbach Corp as a Robotic Combat Suit pilot...
