People who were unhappy with their lives end up there after death and have to deal with their problems in order to enter the afterlife.

Game mechanics

The Outbound Ghost is a side-scrolling game with the top-down view. We explore the Outbound town, get to know its inhabitants and their stories, and perform various tasks for them, often involving the need to solve various puzzles. In this way, we help the ghosts cope with their problems and, consequently, enter the gates of the afterlife. As we progress, we also learn more about the main character and unlock more fragments of his lost personality. Grief, kindness, jealousy, camaraderie, loneliness and heartlessness join him as companions, providing indispensable support on the battlefield.

In Outbound we meet not only potential friends, but also enemies. We fight them in turn-based battles, during which the skillful use of the protagonist's and his allies' abilities counts most. By winning duels, we gain materials from which we create various badges providing us with various buffs, skill upgrades and stat bonuses.
