Evaluation

Speed Dating for Ghosts launched on February 13, 2018 as a complete narrative game. The developer (Ben at Copychaser Games) had teased a free expansion since late 2018, which was ultimately delivered on December 1, 2019 — adding three new ghosts, a dog ghost named Dave, and a concluding endgame sequence. This expansion was described as the game's story conclusion and was explicitly framed as fulfilling all previously teased content promises. Since the expansion shipped in December 2019, there have been no further content announcements or updates for Speed Dating for Ghosts itself. The developer's subsequent communications have focused on a new game, Times & Galaxy, which was announced in May 2023 and released in June 2024. A February 2026 post from Ben was a personal message about a charity fundraiser, not an announcement of new content for this game. The only DLC on the store is the original soundtrack, which released on February 14, 2018. No unreleased DLC is listed. The store description makes no reference to planned future content. All evidence points to the game having reached its complete, final form with the December 2019 expansion.

About this game

Have you ever wanted to have deep, meaningful conversations with a smoldering poltergeist who terrorizes rich men in Vegas? How about a ghost dog looking for his owner? Or maybe you'd rather rob a bank?
Ghosts are into all sorts of things.
Part horror, part comedy, and kinda sorta heartbreaking, Speed Dating for Ghosts is a game like no other about finding companionship and closure in the afterlife.
Meet more than a dozen ghosts of oh so many backgrounds, genders, and time periods. Learn how they died, as well as how they lived, then help them find peace... if they like you enough to open up first.
Based on what you say and how you say it, some dates may turn ugly. Not everyone gets along, even in the afterlife.

Key Features

  • A cast of characters including twelve eligible ghosts to meet and date, as well as memorable bonus weirdos like Fran, Gail, and Carl!
  • Deep, branching conversations with markedly different outcomes depending on what you choose to say
  • A full-fledged date with your favorite ghost that plays out like a text adventure after each speed dating session
  • A wide range of quirky characters including spirits of vengeance, compassion, despair, and mischief
  • Original music by Mikey Maybe, the musical alterego of game artist Mikey Hamm, and acclaimed recording artist Doug Hoyer.

Content Warning: Contains frank discussions of death and its consequences, both seriously and with intentional humor.
