Development
The studio Old Moon handled development, while Humble Games handled publishing.[3]
Development of Ghost Song began in 2013, with early funding coming from a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.[4][5][1] A Wii U port was considered,[6][4] despite incompatibilities between OpenFL and the console.[7] The games Super Metroid and Dark Souls were noted as influences by the developer.[8] 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.[9]
Ghost Song was released on November 3, 2022.[6] The game was made available on Xbox Game Pass on launch.[10]
