I enjoyed this game a lot! I especially had lots of fun with seeing the disappointed red dialogue from constantly checking the trash lol Can't wait for the full game!
Thank you! Currently I'm aiming for the end of this year or early next year, but this being a passion project, it's a bit up in the air. Thank you for your patience!
Great little demo! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of this! There are a couple small things I noticed (invisible wall next to the ghost nurse who saves for you if you try to walk right, a couple typos) but all and all it seemed very solid for it's current state! Keep up the great work!
I love this game so very much already!! From the lovable and creative characters to the suiting and catchy soundtrack to the important inner meaning- it's all so wonderful!! Thank you for this ^^
(Also: Is the soundtrack available for download? If not, do you plan on making it download/buyable in the future? I just- I love it sm-)
the Art Design and colors are amazing and the music can make the dead dance to death but sorry for asking but what is going on with the games development? I am kind of lost
Hi there! Updates have been a bit slow due to personal reasons (it's just me and a few other people making this game, please understand), but progress is still coming! With some luck I'm hoping to have the full project ready by late 2019.
Hi, I'm running Linux and having problems getting this game working, and I was hoping you could help. Here is the error message in the window:
And here is the output of the program when run through my terminal (bash; with my name removed): https://pastebin.com/b0P0kQa7
Two other things to note: The game requires canberra-gtk-module on Linux to be installed on the end user's computer, it seems, which would be worth noting on the game's page, if not bundled with the game (which is fair). Second, the text files shipped on the Linux version seem to be mangled, which breaks a JavaScript file (I can't remember which one, sorry) due to a stray line comment.
Thanks for letting me know! I have no idea what RPG Maker is doing that mangles this so badly for Linux, but I'm looking into solutions. I'm tired of you guys not being able to play it!
The halloween update was more of a progress report than an add-on. As much as I'd like to release the game incrementally, I plan to have a full release, and it'd probably be annoying for people to continually figure out how to migrate their saves. Keep an eye out, though, I plan to have the full version ready by this fall!
I just played the game a few days ago and I wanted to say I LOVE IT!!! I have an anxiety disorder and I can relate to Robin sooo much. I love her as a character and the battle functions are really unique with her.
Honestly, I just made an account to write this and say keep doing what your doing! The game is amazing and I look forward to the full game in the future!!
Thank you! I'm glad this game resonates so much with you, hearing people say this makes the whole thing worth it! Thank you very much, and I'll keep updating!
Good question! Unfortunately I'm not currently aware on a way to do that with RPG maker, but it's one of my concerns too. I'll do my best to find a way to do that!
Using Mac, demo 1.2.0. Can't save -- game just bleeps and no save is made. Entering the options menu crashes the game when I back out. Error message attached.
What I've seen looks interesting, so I'm looking forward to playing the game proper.
Hey there, it's probably because RPG maker is weird and very particular- try moving the game to your desktop or into the documents folder and see if that helps. Thanks!
Thought this game was super good, I loved the story, and didn't have any issues besides the game freezing on me for a few seconds but it didn't happen often so it was a great experience. Honestly the main character is relate able to even those who have minor depression or anxiety I feel, you guys are great keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm glad that you're able to relate to the story, and I'm currently looking into ways to optimize the game's speed! I hope you enjoy the full product just as much!
I TRIED TO SAVE MY GAME BY TALKING TO THE GIRL AT THE FRONT DESK/COUNTER AND WHEN I WANTED TO SAVE, THERE WAS THIS WEIRD NOISE THAT CAME UP WHENEVER I TRIED SAVING.
I've seen other people with this problem. Your issue might be that the game files are stored in a place the engine is having trouble writing to. Try moving the game folder/file to either to desktop or the documents folder. Let me know if this helps!
I kept getting this error when I enter Carna's room, after a few lines of dialogue between Robin, Jay, and Carna. Sarc. Ghost began talking and Carna spoke about him joining the corrupted or something (I didn't have enough time to read it) ,then this came up. Making the scene blurry but you can still play the game to some extent. I even skipped the blurry dialogue to see if the game will (maybe) clear up, when I fought her. But no, I defeated her with a blurry scene.
I think deleted something on accident or messed up the settings. I don't know.
The .ogg should be in there by default...I'm not sure what the deal is, but it seems like you're playing on an older build! I hate to ask you to redownload and start all over, but the problem is almost definitely fixed in the newest build. There's a chance you can copy your save file over to the new game, but I can't speak to how well it would work. I wish I could help you more, but it's very hard for me to go back and edit an old build! Sorry!
This was a great game super good story and art, i did however notice a bug. when you enter carna's office it asks you if you want to enter again i think this may only happen on the right door. this game was still fantastic, can't wait for future updates!
found this through super eyepatch wolf and i absolutely loved it, really digging the characters and the gameplay mechanics, i'll be following this game's development and i'm very much looking forward to seeing the full game.
also, what is that little blue thingy under jays mouth supposed to be? is it drool? is it a soulpatch? is it some type of weird, ghostly essence? i genuinely can't tell and it has been keeping me up for nights on end, please tell me i just wanna sleep again.
I really enjoyed the demo! The story was really interesting and the art and designs were very cute! But there was a few things I felt that could be fixed. First, once the ghost teammate KO'ed none of the items work on him to heal it and it's kinda just left useless, so I feel like there should be an item to heal him. Second, it starts to feel a bit tedious and repetitive to kill a monster get a key, enter the next room over, and then just do that same thing about 8 times. I feel like there should be more exciting and different ways to find the keys instead of doing the same thing. Anyways, that is just my opinion at least I am very excited to see the full game. ^^
Looking at it...yeah, I completely forgot my fix for no Ghost Revival items. I'm going to quickly put out a patch for that, thank you for catching that!
I've gotten similar complaints about that puzzle, too- expect a reworked version in the full game, if not a later demo update.
In the linux build you need to make sure your font files are named case sensitive, I was getting a error: failed to load gamefont. This is because the .ttf file wasn't the same case sensitive as the font name in the .css file. The casing was not exactly the same. once i change it, the game runs! (fixed in picture below)
Sadly i was one of the victims of the no-saving issue.(I run on Mac) But I managed to play the whole game without dying! :D This is a really incredible game and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!!! Keep up the Fantastic work and have an outstanding and fantastic day!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo so much- I'm definitely going to have to check up on what the issue with that is, hopefully it's something that can be easily fixed.
i had the same issue with another rpg maker game on mac, i asked the creator and they said it was an issue with the files being hard for the mac to read, they suggested i put it on my desktop and the game saved fine, did the same with Ghost Hospital and it also saved.
Hey dude just watched your vid and came here to download the game, been watching your stuff for quite a while now while now and you have quickly become my favourite youtuber out there and i cant wait for more content
It's a superb game with likeable characters, I have little reason not to like this game. Good job man, I'm excited for an updated demo, and definitely the finished product.
Really? That's strange, I've never heard of a problem with downloading...are you sure it's not just when you're trying to open or save it? If the issue is downloading it to start with, it could be a problem with your connection. Try checking your connection or restarting your router, maybe, and if that doesn't work, maybe talk to your ISP or Itch customer service. Wish I could do more to help, sorry!
An RPGMaker game with a GameBoy Color style! Very interesting! I hope to see how far this goes while also inspiring other RPGMaker users to use the GameBoy Color style, too.
Thank you! I see a lot of people aiming for NES or SNES, and having grown up on handheld consoles, I wanted to try and aim closer towards the GBC. I'm glad you like it, and I hope I inspire other developers to use the gameboy aesthetic, too!
First meeting Sarcastic Ghost there is a bug when talking to Sarcastic Ghost where the dialog doesn't always pause and wait for you to hit enter, so as a result you cant read all the text. Windows version 1.0.8
Great game. I just made a payment towards it bc I really want to encourage you to finish it. I finished the demo, I am really anxious to find out how the story ends. Please continue this.
Hi! This game is really cool and amazing, but for some reason I can't save at the save point. I pressed all the keys on my keyboard, and most of them didn't work but the few that were used for the game only emitted that dull beep and nothing was saved. I've tried all the keys on my keyboard and even clicking on the file I want to save on with my mouse.... and when I went to keyboard configuration it just gave me a line of code and said there was an error.. Please help..!
Well I'm using a Mac OS 10, so maybe that's the problem.... I tried saving from the lady behind the receptionist's counter where she asks you if you want to save. I'm sorry if I'm being a bother, but I've tried playing it without saving but died almost immediately and had to go through the entire introduction again...
Oof, sorry to hear that. I'm going to look at the engine itself- as far as I can tell, the issue isn't stemming from the game, I'd say updating your system would be a good thing to try too.
I just played through v 1.0.8 and I'm in love!!! Quick question, is there anyway to access the sprites of the characters? I've been wanting to make aesthetics/icons with them but I can't find them anywhere...
Hey there! There should be copies on them available on the development blog, ghosthospitalgame.tumblr.com- if there aren’t, let me know and I can post some. Link or tag me with em when you make them, haha!

Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for the compliment!
I love this game so very much already!! From the lovable and creative characters to the suiting and catchy soundtrack to the important inner meaning- it's all so wonderful!! Thank you for this ^^
(Also: Is the soundtrack available for download? If not, do you plan on making it download/buyable in the future? I just- I love it sm-)
Thank you so much! At the moment, the soundtrack is not buyable, but what does exist is on the youtube channel of our composer in a playlist! We hope you'll enjoy everything to come, too!
the Art Design and colors are amazing and the music can make the dead dance to death but sorry for asking but what is going on with the games development? I am kind of lost
Hi there! Updates have been a bit slow due to personal reasons (it's just me and a few other people making this game, please understand), but progress is still coming! With some luck I'm hoping to have the full project ready by late 2019.
I completely understand and will wait till the end of time and space when the sun will cease to exist
Good luck I hope the best for you and your team

a question: how can I have the hallowen uptade? I downloaded the 1.2.0 version and it doesn't come with the uptades... what should I do? D:
Hey there!
The halloween update was more of a progress report than an add-on. As much as I'd like to release the game incrementally, I plan to have a full release, and it'd probably be annoying for people to continually figure out how to migrate their saves.

thanks! :D
By this fall ?! That's amazing to hear ! :D
I just played the game a few days ago and I wanted to say I LOVE IT!!! I have an anxiety disorder and I can relate to Robin sooo much. I love her as a character and the battle functions are really unique with her.

Thank you! I'm glad this game resonates so much with you, hearing people say this makes the whole thing worth it! Thank you very much, and I'll keep updating!
Quick question: does the demo allow me to transfer save to the completed version (whenever that is done)?
Good question! Unfortunately I'm not currently aware on a way to do that with RPG maker, but it's one of my concerns too. I'll do my best to find a way to do that!
Using Mac, demo 1.2.0. Can't save -- game just bleeps and no save is made. Entering the options menu crashes the game when I back out. Error message attached.
What I've seen looks interesting, so I'm looking forward to playing the game proper.
put it on your desktop, it had something to do with being able to access files easier, it should save after that
Fixed the problem! I was able to complete the demo. Enjoyed the retro feel thoroughly.
Hey there, it's probably because RPG maker is weird and very particular- try moving the game to your desktop or into the documents folder and see if that helps. Thanks!
i like the game.
got the full game, but it ended on a cliffhanger, so it's not even a full game! It's more like a demo!
Well, that's because it is a demo! I hope to release the full game later this year, though, so hang tight! Thanks!
I don't like the game... because i haven't played it yet =P.
Jokes aside I want to download this, but I am in a country where internet is expensive to get... hopefully i'll experience this game soon
I hope so too, and I hope you'll enjoy it way more than I enjoyed that joke. :U
I apologize.. seems like it wasn't well received. I got a friend to help me download it. So I'm going to try it out today.
I apologize... seems like the joke wasn't well received. Anywho, I downloaded this with my campus wifi.
I like it already. Don't mind a little suggestion, but I wonder if you could make it compatible with a joystick?
Damn... I finished it... but i want more... It was real good. Hopefully this gets an ending. When I finally get a decent job, i'll probably donate
Donated 5$, i hope this project thrives!
Thank you! We'll do our best!

HELLO, WHENEVER I TRIED TO GO TO KEYBOARD CONFIG., THIS ERROR WOULD ALWAYS POP UP AND THE SCREEN WOULD JUST FREEZE.
THANKS
Hi there, what operating system are you using?
I kept getting this error when I enter Carna's room, after a few lines of dialogue between Robin, Jay, and Carna. Sarc. Ghost began talking and Carna spoke about him joining the corrupted or something (I didn't have enough time to read it) ,then this came up.

Hmm, that's strange. What platform are you playing this on?

Haha, it's ectoplasm drool! Most ghosts have some ectoplasm drool, it just means they're producing healthy amounts of ectoplasm. Rest easy, friend.
I really enjoyed the demo! The story was really interesting and the art and designs were very cute! But there was a few things I felt that could be fixed.

I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!!! JUST AFTER PLAYING THE DEMO I CANT WAIT FOR MORE!!

Really really enjoyed this. Gonna feature it on the you tube channel Super Eyepatch Wolf.
Hey dude just watched your vid and came here to download the game, been watching your stuff for quite a while now while now and you have quickly become my favourite youtuber out there and i cant wait for more content
-Alex
Thank you so much!!! I can't believe I didn't see it earlier, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!
It's a superb game with likeable characters, I have little reason not to like this game. Good job man, I'm excited for an updated demo, and definitely the finished product.
I have problems with downloading this.
It fails everytime i try.
Really? That's strange, I've never heard of a problem with downloading...are you sure it's not just when you're trying to open or save it? If the issue is downloading it to start with, it could be a problem with your connection. Try checking your connection or restarting your router, maybe, and if that doesn't work, maybe talk to your ISP or Itch customer service. Wish I could do more to help, sorry!
Yes, my internet is not the best at the moment but i dont have problems downloading other stuff.
Here it just stops out of nowhere.
And its alright. I understand.
Ok, nevermind. Got it.
And wow, the main character reminds me of...myself kinda.
An RPGMaker game with a GameBoy Color style! Very interesting! I hope to see how far this goes while also inspiring other RPGMaker users to use the GameBoy Color style, too.

And also, the save function is not working.
Yea, I get the exact same message too when I try to save or change my settings. Maybe it's because I'm using a Mac tho, what are you using?
MacBook Air
Same here, I get the buzzing noise when i try to save, and this error message has also popped up a couple times :(
Another bug is that Arnie lets you walk past him in the beginning of the game. just a small bug.
First meeting Sarcastic Ghost there is a bug when talking to Sarcastic Ghost where the dialog doesn't always pause and wait for you to hit enter, so as a result you cant read all the text. Windows version 1.0.8
