Ghosts is an upcoming interactive movie horror video game written and directed by Jed Shepherd, and published by Cerulean Games, Ascendent Animation, Visible Games, and Limited Run Games. The game is planned for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox One. It will feature creatures designed by online horror artist Trevor Henderson (who also created Siren Head and Cartoon Cat), illustrations by Graham Humphreys and production by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
The game revolves around the player, in the role of a television producer behind the fictitious, titular live-action show (stylized in all caps) – a property now purchased by FrighTV, after it initially received lower ratings. The show features the main cast composed entirely of ghost hunters (played by Haley Bishop, Radina Drandova, Jemma Moore, Caroline Ward and Emma Louise Webb). There is also the fictitious urban legend of "the Long Lady" – anyone who would take a look at her would be inflicted with sudden death.

Gameplay
The player serves as a TV producer, who is managing a live supernatural-themed TV show. All taking place in real time, the player must look after the show's hosts, as well as managing for the aforementioned show, select footage to edit and include advertisements and film trailers to show to the audience, send out people to help, and interact with neighbours – all while they are trying not to die in the process. The game features a time-based restriction, which will only allow it to function at 10 p.m. in the player's local time. Turning the game off before finishing it will immediately kill the cast of the show.
