Ghost Hospital is a GBC-styled Role-Playing Game developed by Lev Lefton. The first demo was released on April 7, 2017, and the current version of the demo is available via GameJoltand Itch.io. You play as Robin, a young girl who one day finds herself waking up in Purgatory Ridge, a hospital for ghosts — despite being perfectly alive and well, as her assigned ghost doctor, Dr. Poe, soon finds out. She then starts to seek her way out of the hospital and find her way back home, and along the way, she meets and partners up with a ghost boy named Jay, and the mysterious Sarcastic Ghost, who help her fight corrupted ghosts as well as her own paralyzing anxiety and depression.

About This Game

Robin is twelve years old, has an anxiety disorder, and is very much alive—which makes her an anomaly in a hospital built for beings that are not. The hospital directors want her contained and kept away from the actual reason she was brought here. The ancient ghosts drifting the corridors want a taste of her living warmth. Her allies are Jay—a ghost around her age, newly arrived and still disoriented—and Sarcastic Ghost, an amorphous being who says a great deal for something without a mouth. A game about mental health, the particular vulnerability of being young, and the unlikely friendships found in impossible places.
