Evaluation

Ghostbane: Prologue is a free standalone preview released on August 2, 2024 by Pi Bit. Its store description is explicit that it is "the free version of Ghostbane" designed to let players experience the core gameplay and get "a taste of what's to come in the full version," with a direct call to wishlist the full game. The full game, Ghostbane (a separate Steam listing), was announced on October 1, 2024 and launched into Early Access on October 7, 2024. This prologue exists as a funnel toward that full product. The prologue itself received a feature update on August 14, 2024 and its last developer communication was the October 7, 2024 launch post for the full game. As of today's date (September 24, 2026), there have been no developer posts to this prologue's news feed since October 7, 2024. However, the prologue's stated purpose — directing players toward the full Ghostbane game, which was in Early Access as of its last known status — means the content story here is tied to the full game's development. The prologue itself is complete as a demo/preview vehicle, but its store description continues to promise that the full version contains more content to come.
