Ghostwriter's Pact

Wishlist on steam!

A roguelike deckbuilder where you shuffle word cards to craft sentences and build stories. You’ve partnered with a mysterious Ghostwriter 👿 who provides the talent you lack, helping you chase the fame you’ve always wanted.

• AI Evaluation: Human critics judge your style, while your Ghostwriter 👿 evaluates if the story meets his specific demands.
• Fulfill Your Contract: Meet specific goals for story tones and character outcomes to keep your partnership alive.
• Infinite Variety: Every player crafts a unique story with over 300,000 possible sentences to discover.
• Try Different Styles: Unlock different writing styles between runs. I recommend British Absurdist for its silliness.

Note: Ghostwriter's Pact is a game design exploration to discover how generative AI can be used to craft novel gameplay experiences. We pre-generated most content to limit the environmental impact of LLMs.
