So romance only mean physical thing ?
Sorry, but romance or Love isn’t just physical interaction and sex .
It’s much more then that . Of course, it’s up to the individual to decide if its enough or not, but to tag it as you gotta have X to call it romance, is just not true .
The best romance I played in some games, had no physical interaction . A mere promise for a futur, and it was beautiful and memorable .
Deinorra romance from Planescape Torment is one of those…still break my heart.
But you cant even see her or him and you can just talk to them its like Your romance is whatshap without videos or pictures just the texts
the game is just text lol you still play it. Why ? because your mind create images and feeling, some words make you laugh, some situations make you feel suspicious or angry…
A ghost would see another Ghost, they see the living . Why wouldn’t they see another dead person? they should be on the same ‘Plane’ wherever that is or what it is called .
Again, like I said : It’s up to the individual . If you believe that a romance trough a Video or a phone call isnt a romance, thats your opinion .
I don’t see it the same way…
Everyone has their opinion and I am speaking for roleplaying purpos so that i can think that if i was the mc in this univers with its logis and we dont know anything about ghost in this universe at least yet so its not 100prosent sure that we can see other ghosts.
well we don’t know enough about our mc past life to make a guess .
We need to know how long the house stood empty before it was brough .
If we were ‘Married’ or ‘Had a significant other’ and if they are alive or dead as well.
Though even if they are dead as well, it doesn’t mean they are a ghost too .
Could be the reason we are haunting the house has tie to our death and we can move on from there , once solved . Or we stick around and go Beetljuice lol
I never seen a game , or book where ghost couldn’t see each others . But I’ll be curious as how they justify such a thing 
(if that is the case)
Well, the answer is… I don’t really know .
I drew a rough outline of each chapter with the major branches of the story. Every chapter has a “theme” that echoes through the characters (MC + the Brooks). In Chapter 1, Remembrances, the MC found itself devoid of memories while meeting the family for the first time. In Chapter 2, Ruptures, we gather all that we have seen in Chapter 1 and tear it down—relationships, confidence, sanity.
But the thing is: I don’t have all the story planned yet. I wrote down the major milestones, yes, but I usually “let the characters guide me”. I think that when you have a good picture of your characters in your mind, they tend to surprise you when you “let them act by themselves”.
If you find this whole “let the characters guide the story” thing just plain old BS, like I once did, I sincerely recommend you On Writing by Stephen King. It might change your opinion on “plotting”.
So, basically: I have the characters solid in my mind, I have the scenario/world, I have the major landmarks of the story, and I have a bunch of scenes that I want to implement (like the family hiring an exorcist if their Terror levels are too high, or Ollie’s RPG friends bringing an Ouija board to the manor during a party).
I still have space to add new elements to the story.
All that said, I ask you all:
1) Would you like to meet other ghosts in this story?
2) Which aspects of the MC’s past life do you want to see in the game? (I have already covered the “main things”: cause of death, profession, a beloved person, how did the MC turn into a ghost, and so on)
3) Would you like to have romantic options as the MC (considering that each member of the Brooks family has already at least 1 RO)?
I love that you use this writing style! I do this a lot as well, and I am constantly surprised by some of the things my characters show me.
…With the humans? Well, I had no idea that was a possibility. 
I certainly wouldn’t want anything to do with them… Mmm, except for the husband’s mistress perhaps. I don’t know her so in all fairness she may prove endurable still. 
Yes, humans—I didn’t say whether dead or alive 
Nah, I mean: the story has already a bunch of romantic options/struggles covered. I fear that if I add some ROs to the MC as well, it might feel somewhat convoluted, and the relationships of the Brooks family might become less meaningful.
That’s why I haven’t planned ROs for the MC. There are already some love stories (and possibly tragedies) in the story. I prefer to have fewer ROs in the game and make sure that these are all properly covered.
will we be able to Fight the exorsicst and is it real or fake One
What if your house became a hotspot for supernatural ghosts and some of them would be evil ghosts trying to kill the Brooks (or people in the neighbourhood) and friendlier ones that could become RO’S, you could either be like a guardian of the family, or even plotting against the with the evil entities.Even though but are tied to an object, what if there was a rift between ‘planes’ and one turns out to be a new one in the attic. This is just an idea and a possible plot to this story
If the exorcist finds out about your artifact of worldly connection, I think it won’t matter whether they are “real” or “fake”…

I think that many people would like to play an interactive story like this, but it just isn’t what I’m planning for Ghost Simulator. As seen in Chapter 1, the Brooks play a central role in the story. I want Ghost Simulator to encompass both the (almost) infinite possibilities of being a supernatural entity and the mundane struggles of human nature.
That said, if the game receives enough support, I wouldn’t mind writing sequels on a possible Ghost Simulator series 
Can we have different backstories, like the Mc was in the civil war of some big historical event like that?
One question: Permanent possession, planned possibility?
1) Would you like to meet other ghosts in this story?
Sure! The MC can’t leave the house, so it’s have to be another person that died in the house, or maybe had their artifact brought into the house, if I understand the rules?
2) Which aspects of the MC’s past life do you want to see in the game?
I think it’d be interesting to see a bit more about their family while alive. There could be an added layer of motivation in a ghost that had a good family life trying to replicate that with the Brooks, or trying to ruin the Brooks out of resentment at having what the ghost no longer does. A ghost with an dysfunctional family could be trying to make the Brooks as unhappy as they were or trying to give them the happy home the MC lacked in life.
3) Would you like to have romantic options as the MC (considering that each member of the Brooks family has already at least 1 RO)?
I was thinking about this, because it’s almost de rigueur for CoG games to have at least one romance option. It’s not high on my list, and I’m certainly not interested in any of the Brooks in that way. If you do end up adding another ghost character, that would be my preference for the romance option. But I’d be perfectly happy without a romance path. Right now I’m pretty invested in helping Samantha and Michael strengthen their marriage and getting Amber and Lauren together. Ollie is a twerp who suggested using my corpse as a Halloween decoration, so I’m not too fond of him at the moment, but if I decide he’s good for Becky I’ll at least not sabotage the relationship. I think that’s enough romance.
One thing I’d like to see is the MC appear fully to the family and not scare the crap out of them. Maybe float around and have full conversations with each of the family members and develop a friendship with each of them.
It would be cool for the MC to be like a ghost guardian to the family.
I’m a slave to that way too . (though never read Stephen king ‘On writing’ ), but to me…its the only way to write . It’s Liberating!
as long as they aren’t obnoxious…sure lol
I’m a sucker for Tragic Lost Love…got my kleenex ready, Do your worst!
You mean romance the couple ? Hum…Help the wife write about you and the house and succeed…and fade peacefuly…
Or Go evil…posses the phone and call the real estate agent : I need more peoples…the house is empty…the family shot themself…send more peoples…
Well I mean sure. I just hope the ghosts are there for plot reasons and not for the sake of having a ghost there for the MC to not be lonely throughout the story.
Mmm. Family life or very memorable memories of our MC in relation to the rooms we visit in the manor.
Honestly, unless you will add another ghost in the manor, I will say no.
or is there like energy consumed while doing those stuff and my character just don’t have the energy to do more after using a power?
I had the Whisper powers, can i follow it up with another dialogue? it’s always just seemed one sentence. or will additional dialogues be in future chapters?
I chose the Victorian era origin. How does my MC know what a computer or a cell phone is? or is that just what i really like to wear or like some other explanation? explanation like: strangely enough you know what the things are called
I really like the story though very interesting premise and your demo is great it’s awesome and fun and easy to read and follow. like you are a ghost that can be good or not but right now i don’t see many options with being an active benevolent ghost that wants to be noticed and be seen more w/o scaring their pants off. like apparition and whisper is mostly just “OOOoooOOOhhh is spooky ghost haunting you”. maybe for a benevolent character it could be like “heyya i just died and really alone in this world like i literally don’t know what to do so maybe i could just coexist with you guys since you guys seem like fine humans so pls don’t call in the ghost busters…although maybe if they’re coming to party that’d be nice”. if i don’t have whisper powers maybe something else like dream talking or writing
or will our ghost character be forever stuck in the behind-the-scenes benevolent type unless you go for the screw everything up type?
