The Ghost Cage is a short adventure game (20-30 minutes per playthrough) that was created for the Spooktober Spooktacular Game Jam, where it won 1st place. It released on October 11, 2021. The store description frames it as a self-contained experience with multiple endings — no DLC, no post-launch content, and no developer communications about future updates or expansions. The two developer news posts carry no development signals. This game launched as a finished, complete product and has remained so since release.

About this game
Isabel's just moved into a new home, but it turns out it's haunted by a ghost!
Should she be afraid? Or should she try to be nice to the ghost and befriend it? Or maybe she could even turn the tables on it and drive it out of the house!
The outcome of this short and light-hearted adventure game depends on the items you find and the choices you make. Multiple endings - which may be happy, sad, heartwarming, or amusing - available.
About 20-30 minutes for one playthrough.
This is not a horror game, though it was made for the horror-themed Spooktober Spooktacular Game Jam (where it won 1st place). The game has a ghost and a couple of allusions to death.
The idea of a ghost whose reaction to you depends on how you treat it and a couple scenes in this game were loosely inspired by The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde.
