April 2025
Hard to fully evaluate the story before season II is released. Until the end of season I, the narrative feels more like a collection of fragments than a complete story. ( And Clara’s suffering makes me sick— I struggle to see any purpose behind it beyond the writer’s questionable taste.) Aside from the story, the visual and audio are distinctive and excellent. The style of this visual novel reminds me of early 2000s video recordings, especially when playing with my steamdeck, it was a really a novelty experience. Still, I’d recommend waiting until season II is released before deciding whether to buy.

Cozy, melancholic and beautiful. I loved every part of this vn, from the gorgeous illustrations to the writing, with the story touching on themes of loneliness and disassociation in such a sensitive way. It's like a warm blanket in a rainy night.

Enjoyable visual novel. The visuals are very nice. Good music, good plot. Surprised how obscure it is so leaving a review to hopefully help it along in the algorithm.

Ghostpia is a beautiful denshi glitchy art style that's simply gorgeous to watch as a visual novel, however, I never felt like I fully understood character motivations before I was whisked off to the next scene or episode. While there may be motives for Clara's treatment later on after the characters make certain discoveries, earlier motivations for Clara's horrible treatment are just cruel for the sake of the characters being annoyed by her (which I guess most things would if you live forever). I hope more is revealed in season 2 as at times it felt like I was spending 9,999 years just trudging through information with no idea whether it would be relevant or was simply a throw away detail. The connection between Yoru and Sayoko pulled me through to the end along with Pacifica's character arc, but for such a highly rated Steam VN, I wish more than the art style felt impressive to from this first season. 5/10

Randomly stumbled across this game, looked at a few photos and decided it was interesting enough to buy. I jumped the gun on it, I never even read the description or saw the trailer! Having just finished the game I will admit I enjoyed it all the way through. The intro caught my attention and I needed to see how the story progressed. The setting is neat, the characters were entertaining, the story was great, and the music was unique. It all works together to make a very neat experience. I cannot wait for season 2. If you're on the fence with this one, I would highly suggest getting it. I have no regrets with this game, they did a good job.
