About

Ghostagotchi

Read full description

A small ASCII ghost that lives on your phone. Feed it. Play with it. Boop it from your lock screen. It has its own personality — a drifter, a clingy one, a chaotic gremlin, a sensitive poet, or a zen monk — and it floats around its underwater-space world doing its own thing. • 53 tiny ten-second games against your ghost • Evolve from WISP to WRAITH • 50+ glowing skins to collect • GHOST FM — tune the dial through 42 stations of ghostnaps music and watch your ghost react to every song • Home & lock screen widgets — boop without opening the app • Daily streaks and gifts on release days Your ghost never dies. But ignore it too long and it drifts away… one tap calls it back. No accounts. No ads. Free. Made with love in Boston, MA by ghostnaps.
