Ever wondered what it’s like to be the monster under the bed? In Ghost Keeper by Gaming Factory, you aren’t the one being hunted—you are the master of the macabre.
Step into the shoes of a servant to the Order, tasked with maintaining the balance between the living and the dead. Scaring away pesky mortals isn’t just a hobby; it’s a job description.
Why you should keep this on your radar:
Victorian Horror Vibes: Immerse yourself in a beautifully grim 19th-century world.
Master the Scare: Use a variety of ghosts, monsters, and demons—each with unique abilities—to terrify the living.
Tactical Gameplay: It’s not just about jumpscares; it’s about strategy. Manage your “Fear” resources and choose the right tool for the job.
Dark Narrative: Uncover the secrets of the Order and the entities that serve them.
Whether you’re a fan of management sims or classic horror aesthetics, Ghost Keeper is shaping up to be a hauntingly good time.
Calling all fans of reverse-horror strategy and classic tactical games! The Victorian-era underworld is calling, and developers Quest Craft have finally thrown open the gates of their much-anticipated Kickstarter campaign for Ghost Keeper. This isn’t just another indie game—it’s a spiritual successor to beloved old-school titles, ready to put you in charge of the supernatural elite.
What is Ghost Keeper?
Imagine a tactical simulation where you are the architect of fear. Inspired by genre classics, Ghost Keeper flips the horror script, making you the master of a spectral crew of eccentric Ghosts, ferocious Beasts, and powerful Demons.
Set in a beautifully grotesque 19th-century England, your mission is simple: terrorize the mortals, set intricate traps, and harvest their sweet, sweet fear. But beware—a pesky, ghost-hating organization known as The Brotherhood is always on your trail, forcing you to constantly adapt and outsmart your living adversaries.
Reverse Horror Tactics: Command a team of unique supernatural minions with individual skills and personalities.
Victorian Grotesque: Marvel at the detailed, eerie, and sometimes bizarre setting of 19th-century England, complete with a peculiar and malicious narrator.
Sandbox Strategy: Each level is a distinct sandbox, offering multiple paths to victory and encouraging varied, strategic approaches to scaring.
The Campaign Goal: Not Greedy, Just Evil!
The team at Quest Craft is refreshingly transparent—the core mechanics of Ghost Keeper are already built and playable! The Kickstarter isn’t about starting from scratch; it’s about giving the final push to expand content, add polish, and unleash the ultimate scaring experience.
The campaign is aiming for a modest goal of approximately $15,070 USD / €12,500 EURO (55,000 PLN) and runs until Monday, January 26, 2026.
Pro-Tip from the Imp: The developers have hinted that hitting one of the first Stretch Goals could trigger an Early Access launch in Q1 2026—a lot sooner than the official 2026 release date!
