Raising ghosts from egg to adult

Every ghost starts as an egg. Out pops a tiny Wisp, which grows into a Juvenile and eventually a Fully Grown ghost, each stage with its own look. You decide how hands-on to be: drop food, throw a ball, rub bellies, or scrub grubby ghosts clean with the Sponge. You can also just let them nap and do their own thing. As they grow, they produce Ghost Slime, which you vacuum up with your Hoover and trade for new ghost eggs. It is a slow, pleasant loop: raise one, hatch the next, and watch your terrarium fill up with little sheet-like tenants.

The idle economy runs itself

Here is the joke at the heart of the game: there is a button, and only your ghosts can press it. The happier they are, the harder they work, and Button Currency piles up whether you are watching or not. You spend it on food, toys and new terrariums, while slime from your grown ghosts buys fresh eggs to hatch. So the loop keeps turning while you get on with your day: ghosts press the button, eat, grow, and leave slime behind for the Hoover. You come back, collect, spend, and maybe hatch something new. An economy where the workers are ghosts and the manager is optional.

Company that never demands anything

This is a game for the low-stakes hours. There are no timers, no failure states, no punishment for walking away: your ghosties are fine on their own for hours and easy to cheer back up when you return. The terrarium sits anywhere on your desktop, resized and moved however you like, and the menus vanish when you are not using them, so the ghosts just float quietly in their glass jar while you work or browse. Calm music, soft colors, small creatures drifting around.

What should you know before playing?

Can you play it solo?

Yes, it is a single-player desktop companion by design. The whole game happens in a terrarium on your own screen: you hatch, feed and collect ghosts at your own pace, with no accounts, opponents or multiplayer involved. It is built to share a screen with your work, not with other players.

Does it need constant attention?

No. It is an idler: your ghosts press the button, earn currency and go about their business while you do something else. You can check in to feed them, play with them or vacuum up slime, or leave them be for hours; they get by without you and are easy to cheer up again.

What do you actually do day to day?

Short check-ins, mostly. Feed your ghosts (they get hungry often), play with them, wash them when they get grubby, collect the Ghost Slime they produce with your Hoover, and trade it for new eggs. Between visits, Button Currency accumulates on its own for you to spend on food, toys and terrariums.

Can you customize the terrarium?

Somewhat. You can move and resize the terrarium anywhere on your desktop, and you unlock new terrariums to match the season or your mood. What you cannot do yet is place individual decorations inside; the terrariums come as preset designs rather than a build-your-own tank.
