Portrait Of A Ghost

What is Portrait of a Ghost?

Portrait of a Ghost is an eerie atmospheric visual novel that melds supernatural photography, gothic storytelling, and psychological horror. You are Arthur Hope, a fraudster spirit photographer who preyed on grief until he starts realizing the ghosts might be real after all. With hand-drawn artwork, a retro unsettling style, and an original soundtrack, an immersive atmosphere sets in for a chilling story of deception, remorse, and paranormal occurrences.

Portrait of a Ghost Games

Portrait of a Ghost features multiple endings, light point-and-click mechanics, and thematic exploration of death and grieving in this brief yet terrifying journey—that is better undertaken with a pair of headphones (and partly or completely with the lights on).

How To Play

  • Point & click exploration: Explore Arthur's world by interacting with objects and making decisions that influence the story.
  • Dialogue choices: Your choices seal Arthur's fate; will he pay for his lies, or will far worse come to claim him?
  • Photography mechanic: Take pictures of spirits, but beware: some things shouldn't be seen.

(For optimal experience, it is suggested that you download the game—the web version may experience some lag.)

Tips and Tricks

  • Pay attention to details: The art style and ominous sound design hide very subtle clues regarding the truth behind Arthur's world.
  • Try out options: There are multiple endings; replay to discover all possible dark fates.
  • Take it slow: Let the atmosphere sink in; this one is a slow burn.

The History

Created in just one week for SCREAM JAM 2024, Portrait of a Ghost is a passion project of developer ENDYSIS, with music and sound by Calamanser. It's a love letter to classic ghost stories, vintage photography, and psychological horror.

Content Warnings

This game does deal with heavy stuff like...

  • Death and grief
  • Body horror
  • Mild jump scares
  • Very disturbing imagery

If you want more supernatural tales, the developer's other works might be of interest to you (ghostly romances and haunted armor, among others)—but first, see if you can make it through Arthur's chilling ride.
