Even cuter than I was anticipating! Kyo my beloved <3
Dave is the goodest boi.
for what this game is it is quite amazing. it is small and bare bones but full of heart and emotion. great concept and good quick pick up for those who like narrative games/dialogue heavy games.
A game that’s short and sweet and very, very cute, if not just a tad existentially dreadful. When not charming and thought-provoking, however, the game can be a bit dull, but it’s still worth a play if only for how fun a lot of the characters and their concepts are.
A cemetery's worth of phantoms, wraiths, and poltergeists lookin' for love.
Speed Dating for Ghosts is literally what it sounds like, a dating sim about speed dating for ghosts. You start the game and get to pick from 3 different rooms that have 3 different ghosts in each. You have two rounds to speak with all three of the ghosts in that room, and the ghost changes in front of you every time a bell rings, so... literally like speed dating works usually.
There is a lot of different dialogue in the game, branching choices that make you want to meet the ghosts again later and many different kinds of ghosts to choose from. The tone of this dating sim is definitely to be more comedic than romantic, but it does work work in this concept really well. For me, my own favorites from the ghosts you can choose from were Hattie, Spooky Peter and Gary. Hattie was sweet, but also told an important story about old people in nursing homes. Spooky Peter was, as I understood, a plague doctor before he died, and he was very spooky and dry, but also really fun and interesting. Gary was really creepy and well done, but also sad and interesting.
Overall, I think this game is a short little fun trip for those of us who enjoy dating sims, and it's definitely worth it. I honestly think you should wait for a sale as the amount of content and dialogue is not worth it for the full price, but it's still worth to get.

Speed-daters ranked by how much I'd want to play this game with them:
1. Spooky Peter (He'd be a riot)
2. Dave (Pure positivity)
3. Gary (I don't think it'd help him, but I have to try)
4. Hattie (She's nice!)
5. Stephanie (She needs something to do)
6. Andy (Would arguably the best commentator)
7. Agatha (Same reason as Gary, but less desperate)
8. Vera (I think she might hate it)
9. Leon (He'd definitely hate it)
10. Kyo (They don't need this stress, bless their heart)
11. Drea (I think they might hate me)
12. Riley (Bye Riley)
Cute game! I wish there was more art, a lot of situations are just described without showing anything. At the very least, a background image for the dates would have gone a long way. But most of all, I truly feel bad for not being able to help Gary more. That poor guy.

Es divertido y bonito.
Enjoyable little visual novel that has good humor and interesting topics that feels held back by its structure and length. The speed dating aspect feels like an odd fit for the characters they made for the game and pretty much none of it even feels slightly romantic even when its trying to be. For a game called speed dating for ghosts it felt much more like therapy for ghosts. And the interesting part of having to choose a partner at the end of a session gets nullified due to how the game makes it super easy and encourages you to experience the dates with every ghost. You wont even get the last chapter of the game if you don't. I tend to dig short games and stories but almost every characters date and convos tend to feel a bit rushed, it is definitely an enjoyable time but I couldn't help but feel these characters and stories deserved a more natural wrapper and some breathing time.
6/10
short and fun
