Development
Development
The studio Old Moon handled development, while Humble Games handled publishing. Development of Ghost Song began in 2013, with early funding coming from a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. A Wii U port was considered, despite incompatibilities between OpenFL and the console. The games Super Metroid and Dark Souls were noted as influences by the developer. Over the course of development, the game was developed in three different fundamental platforms, starting as a Flash game before being ported to the Stencyl engine, before finally being ported to Unity for the release version. Ghost Song was released on November 3, 2022. The game was made available on Xbox Game Pass on launch.
