Ghost Song
Description
On the desolate moon of Lorian, a long-dormant Deadsuit awakens from slumber—armed and combat-ready, memory clear of purpose. But something new is stirring…
Strike out beneath the surface in search of answers in Ghost Song, an atmospheric 2D adventure of self-discovery, ancient mysteries, and cosmic terror. Explore winding caverns lit only by bioluminescent flora, battle strange and powerful creatures, and acquire new abilities to help you unearth this alien world’s long-buried secrets.
Descend deep into the darkness—only then will you learn (or is it remember?) the truth.
FEATURES
Discover what lies below
Explore the twisting alien tunnels and long-abandoned labs of an expansive, beautifully illustrated Metroidvania-inspired 2D world filled with secret chambers and a haunting history.
Power up and progress
Acquire potent weapons and game-changing new abilities in the depths, unlocking access to new strata of the moon and optional hidden areas.
Face challenging foes
Combat the fungal aliens and metal husks of Lorian with responsiveness and precision. Level up your power, and customize your suit and blaster with an arsenal of modules.
Blast and smash
Master the distinctive rhythm of Deadsuit’s core combat. Pummel enemies with your rapid-fire blaster, building up barrel heat that empowers your melee attacks.
You are not alone
You’re not the only entity trapped in this unfamiliar place. Encounter a cast of voiced characters and discover their own tales of survival, courage, abandonment, and redemption.

Ghost Song blends common gaming elements with strange surprises, and the end result is certainly more than the sum of its parts.

Nails the feeling of exploration
For me the 'feeling' of movement felt quite different to begin with, it took me a little time to get used to it, but once I did (and realised some moves like the 'dash' and 'sprint' are unlocked as time goes on) it really felt right to me. So if you're the same and your first few minutes playing feel different? Give it a few minutes to settle in! It's kinda like a H.R. Giger-ish world, not in that it is body-horror, but in that the environments and world you wake up on feel very alive. Top marks for how the environment reacts as you move through it, the changes in biomes, the enemies and creatures. Mixed with the (excellent) music, this game has become a real pleasure to play through. Gameplay is a great mix of reaction and precision-based combat with platforming. You'll come back to areas once new abilities unlock and the progression really feels your own as you go through it. I've not played a huge amount of Metroidvanias, but if you love them, then this really is worth your time. I've had an amazing experience, the story, world, small amounts of voice acting, movement, and music are all really top of the top to me. Loved my time playing this!
