About The Game
The Outbound Ghost is an adventure RPG about helping ghosts ascend to the afterlife. The town of Outbound is, quite literally, a ghost town – a home to troubled spooks with unresolved earthly issues, condemning them to an eternity haunting their old *ahem* haunts.
Battle the past, gain new abilities, solve puzzles, and uncover the mysteries of Outbound to help its unliving residents find peace, freeing them from the shackles of their ghostly limbo.
Key Features:
Colourful characters: Meet a lovable cast of spooks along the way, each with their own story to unravel
Combat encounters: Unlock figments of your past personality, such as Regret, Comradery, and Jealousy and use them as party members in turn-based battles
Aspects system: Craft materials earned by winning combat encounters into ‘Aspects’, which can be equipped for various effects and stat boosts
A world in 2.5D: Adorable, paper-style characters inhabit a world with depth and detail to create a distinctly eye-catching visual style

Awww, sounds a lot like the plot of Cozy Grove. I always thought the Spirit Scout would find out they were actually a ghost too. But this looks good, on my want list.
Personally very excited for this game. Bug fables was good, but it just didn’t have the Mario charm. I’m hoping that I care a bit more about the characters and story for this game. Thousand Year Door is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.
