Portrait of a Ghost
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Arthur Hope is a spirit photographer, able to capture images of the departed with his camera.
At least, that's what he'd like you to believe. After all, any price is worth paying to see a loved one's face again, isn't it?
Unfortunately for him, ghosts just might be more real than he realised.
This game contains themes of death and grief, body horror, mentions of being burned and buried alive, jumpscares and potentially unsettling images.

Loved it 💕💕
I loved how well composed the story was, great atmosphere and artwork to accommodate! The art work was nothing short of appreciation with such simplisticity and eeriness - feast for the eyes. Great job dev!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing! :D
I haven’t played it yet, but the concept sounds so intriguing! The idea of capturing images of the departed and the twist of ghosts being more real than Arthur Hope expected has definitely piqued my interest. I'll come back after playing it <3
Woke up to this being announced today, and I couldn't be more excited.
Idk if anyone else have this feeling but, other people's artworks had me kicking my feet and wanting to swallow it all, however Endysis, yours made me wanna be consumed by them.
I had always find something so amusing, so captivating in your writting and illustrations. Your paintings aren't just for the human eye -my soul enjoys their taste, too. My heart beats more rapidly whenever I think about your artworks; I suppose it's not the thrill, more like love.
I have big feeling for your talent, Endysis.
Thank you for leaving such a kind message. I really can't tell you how much it means; I'm grateful you've taken the time to play them and that you've gotten so immersed in them as well! ;v;
