Indie developer Pixel Ghost’s debut title, Life’s Too Short, made the leap to PC this week, bringing its colorfully spooky ghost adventure off handheld screens and onto Steam.
In Life’s Too Short, players step into the role of a helpful little ghost called in to settle a feud between two vampires who’ve had a dramatic fallout and confined themselves to their respective coffins. What follows is a compact, characterful adventure where players must explore the mansion, meet spooky characters, and solve puzzles in order to put the mansion back together and mend the rift in the vampires’ relationship.
The Steam release marks the end of an unusual multi-platform journey. Life’s Too Short originally debuted on Panic’s yellow, crank-operated Playdate handheld before being adapted into a playable Game Boy title. Now, PC players can experience the game in full color for the first time.
“Life’s Too Short was my first ever game launch and has since become a great template for learning and exploring new platforms,” said Ollie Coe, Director at Pixel Ghost. “We’re all super excited to launch the first Pixel Ghost game on Steam and have already started work to bring the three sequels to the platform in full color.”
Life’s Too Short is available now on Steam for $6 with a 10% launch discount available for a limited time.
