Welcome to the Afterlife, Dear Spirits

Matchmaking for Ghosts is a character-focused, narrative-driven visual novel about love, loss, and unfinished business. You’re dead sure, but now what?The defining hook of Matchmaking for Ghosts lies in choice of perspective. Rather than following a single protagonist, players can step into the role of multiple ghostly leads, each with their own past, regrets, and stories. Every protagonist experiences the afterlife differently, and every route reframes the same world through a new emotional lens.

You’re thrown into a string of speed-dating rounds. Forced to come to terms with your death in a small period of time. All to find your soulmate, because if you don't, Death guarantees you'll receive a negative judgement.

Fortunately for you, 8 other ghosts have to persevere through the same fate. 
Make friends, break hearts, and spark a little bit of chaos along the way. Enjoy yourself~

But be warned… 

This is your second chance, and you don't get a third. 

Matchmaking? For Ghosts?

You play as one of the dead, thrown into an afterlife hotel by Death itself.

Here, you are given one final chance: to connect, to love, and to be understood.

Form bonds with other lost souls through fun conversations, risky flirting, and difficult decisions. At the end, your efforts will be judged: ascension, descent, or something worse, awaits. 

To get in the mood, Matchmaking for Ghosts is best experienced at a relaxed pace, with sound on.  Don't rush, allow yourself to be immersed, and enjoy yourself while making choices. The saving features allows the player to save whenever they'd like and pick up exactly where they left off.

Meet the Cast (and You)



Mary: A fragile but sharp orphan pianist, resigned to despair but harboring sparks of hidden thrill. The rain is heavier than usual tonight. 

Alice: A classy, but cruelly blunt ghost with a psychotic streak and a dark past. A chaotic, malicious spirit who may hold ulterior motives for this game. 



Zack: A laid-back streetwise ghost who masks deep regrets and jealousy with humor and chill vibes. Riding through life until he reached a dead-end. 





Ryder: A detective who died with honor, now learning to live without purpose. This hotel holds many secrets... perhaps he can get to the bottom of this case?

...And many more spirits waiting to test your heart!
Do you dare to fall in love... with the dead?
