About The Ghost of You
The year is 1951, somewhere in a small town in Italy; and the lives of five women are about to take an unwanted dip into the dark waters of despair…
You take on the role of a young woman called Libretto Pansatto, an aspiring violinist in her early twenties. Having recently suffered the loss of her mother, Libretto has never felt more hopeless. But in the midst of her life’s biggest tragedy, an exciting opportunity makes itself known – as she receives an invitation to watch her closest friend perform at the grand re-opening of the symphony hall in town.
Soon after arriving at the hall, Libretto feels death is in the air around her…and realizes that this isn’t just any performance – but perhaps the last song that humanity might ever hear...
The Ghost of You is a 510,000+ word epic about love, loss, and survival. You make the choices that shape Libretto’s character; and you shape just what kind of an ending you get. With two romance routes and ten possible endings, will you end up with the girl you love, or will you end up alone? Will you fight the evil going on in this place, or will you join it? And most importantly – will you survive the madness of the symphony hall?
Are you prepared for what’s to come?
510,000+ words. The Ghost of You is a rich, in-depth look into the life of Libretto – and what can happen when just one person has an effect on the lives of so many. With half a million words, we'll make sure you get your money's worth!
You decide on your game. Libretto’s fate is in your hands; from her words to her actions, you choose just what kind of path you want to set her on.
Two romance routes! Decide between Mona Tenebre, Libretto’s lovelorn, gloomy ex-girlfriend; or Elisa Durante, the bright and charming childhood friend who has seen it all. Will either of them win Libretto’s heart in a place like this?
A full soundtrack and 400+ unique sound effects. To enhance your reading experience to its fullest, we have included a classical soundtrack and plenty of haunting sound effects that will get you squirming in your seat.
Ten possible endings. Under your guidance, Libretto can be a woman of many different faces; will she be a kind soul to those around her, or will she be an addition to the evil at work? The choice is yours...and the endings will reflect just what kind of person you were.
An all "yuri" cast. Alongside Libretto and her friends, you’ll also find several other characters to accompany you on your journey…or hinder it. This story is full of an all-female entourage that you won’t want to miss.
Multiple Extras. With the main cast and all the history they bring with them, you can unlock many pieces of their story; and find out just why this symphony hall from hell really exists.
A 75-page long extra route. A prominent couple in the main cast get their own opportunity to share their story - and you can read it after completing the game once. Just how do a mobster and a songstress with a heart of gold fall in love? You'll have it at your fingertips to find out!

✦ AI summary
Players praise The Ghost of You for its engaging story, excellent writing, compelling twists, and outstanding soundtrack, with particular appreciation for its sapphic romance and rewarding replay value through unlockable content. However, some criticize the game's heavy text volume and the restrictive nature of choices that often lead to bad endings despite seemingly manageable situations, making successful playthroughs feel limited to narrow decision paths.
if you tell the vicar you've had premarital sex she'll kill you, 10/10 (but genuinely i had a really good time with this game)2 found this helpful
"The Ghost of You" has good writing, and the story quickly has you hooked with its twists and turns, but I seem to have hit every bad end I could find and eventually decided to cut my playthrough short. To me, it felt like certain situations that should be manageable result in a bad end anyway, restricting a successful playthrough to a narrow set of choices. It’s also worth noting that I played through the game a number of years back as well and recall having a similar experience, even if I can’t remember the specifics. But all in all, it’s absolutely worth a read. (7/10)2 found this helpful
I got extra lore for seducing a vicar 10/10 The story is engaging to see to the end and I think very rewarding on repeat playthroughs (especially with the unlockable stories in the Extras menu! I believe playing Elisa and Mona's routes once and some exploration unlock them all.) I thought it all clicked together nicely! If you enjoy sapphic romance and a well-crafted mystery, this game is more than worth it!1 found this helpful
Game breaks my heart.1 found this helpful
One of the most underrated games I've played in my life. It's so cheap for what it offers, I really loved it!
Before I get to any sort of review: There was SO MUCH READING! If I didn't read as fast as I do, there's no way I would have been able to finish (I broke the game up into multiple sessions). I'm all for lgbt+ content, I just could not get past how much reading there is. Now the actual review: Fantastic story and detail that went into creating the characters, the scenes and dialog. The soundtrack for the game is incredible and almost entrancing to listen to on its own. Each song that was set for each character and intense scene were beautifully selected. There are so many choices to make in addition to how many options were for each choice, I can imagine there may be room for at most 2 more rounds of playability (i.e choosing a new love interest). [tl;dr] Overall 5/10 - big points for great story, detail, and soundtrack. Points off for how much reading there is (unless that's your thing, then it's bonus points). Super long playthrough, not able to play in one sitting, not much replayability. Will still recommend this game for readers and those who love lgbt+ content!
