Humble Games is publishing Ghost Song, the promising metroidvania sidescroller from indie developer Old Moon.

While Humble Games is publishing Ghost Song, the game is purportedly launching for Windows PC (via Steam), finally, sometime in 2022.

Ghost Song was originally a Kickstarter-funded game, which we covered not long after our website was founded nearly nine years ago. While the game was successfully funded and reached numerous stretch goals, it hasn’t been released yet.

Here’s a new trailer:

Here’s a rundown on the game:

On the desolate moon of Lorian V, a long-dormant Deadsuit awakens from slumber—armed and combat-ready, memory clear of purpose. But something new is stirring…

Strike out beneath the surface in search of answers in Ghost Song, an atmospheric 2D adventure of self-discovery, ancient mysteries, and cosmic terror. Explore winding caverns lit only by bioluminescent flora, battle strange and powerful creatures, and acquire new abilities to help you unearth this alien world’s long-buried secrets.

Descend deep into the darkness—only then will you learn (or is it remember?) the truth.
