The store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained experience — a tribute to classic 80s and 90s arcade games built around a single creative vision. There is no mention of DLC, expansions, season passes, roadmaps, or future content of any kind. No DLC listings exist, and no post-launch developer communications indicate ongoing development or planned additions. The game appears to have launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle, consistent with a passion project created by a solo developer/musician as a standalone tribute. With no signals pointing to planned or ongoing content, the game is considered complete as of its release date.

About this game

In a parallel universe where a life is in a 16-bit pixelated form, the music scene has been dominated by fake artists and DJ’s. They rise to fame and become superstars in the media because of two important tools.
The first are ghost producers they hire to make music for them so they can release it under their names. The second is a dangerous power brought from the Pit of Averno. This mystical evil power is called MONEY.
These evil creatures are known as Devil Goata, Paul Douchebag, Paris Sheraton, Steve Karaoki and Pete Bullshit.
Their goal is to destroy the love for the music in this universe by making all of it to sound the same and stupid, using a terrifying and malicious artifact known as THE TEMPLATE.
There is still chance for real music to survive. Help Dr. Kucho! on his crusade for the love of music. Fight the fake and avoid cheesy music to poison the weak minds. Find the template and destroy it so ghost producers won't be able to make music for anyone and fake artists will be forced to live by their own merits… if they can.
It’s time to send these creatures back to the 16-bit hell they came from using musical supports as weapons. Ghosts‘n DJ’s is a project born from the love of music and it’s a tribute to the arcade games of the 80’s and 90’s. No ghost programmers were used in the making of this video game.

Ghosts'n DJs is fully created and starred by Dr. Kucho!, one of the most industrious and long-standing producers and DJs ever after almost three decades in the industry, with a portfolio of more than 300 house music releases, including his latest hit “Can't Stop Playing”.
The game proudly features deadmau5, the groundbreaking electronic artist who has changed pop culture as we know it with albums such “4 × 4 = 12”, “For Lack Of A Better Name” and “Random Album Title”. He’s also critically acclaimed for his singles "Sofi Needs A Ladder", "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" and "I Remember”. deadmau5 kindly allowed the use of his tracks “Polaris”, “4Ware", “GG” and "Three pound chicken wing" to be part of the soundtrack of this game.
