Canned Ghost
A downloadable game
You own a very popular Haunted Bed and Breakfast. However, you are no ordinary tourist attraction. The ghost of your B&B are of your own making. Check evil doers into rooms with traps, making them regret visiting your humble little Inn. Once an evil doer dies, their spirit cannot rest. Good natured individuals will also wish to check in and see the ghost for themselves.
Use your Ghost-Canner Pro 3000, to can your ghost and sell them on the Haunted House Market from your PC. Earn money to expand your room offerings and management tools.
This humble little game was made in 7 days for Scream Jam 2023. It needs a lot of patience but could be a potential future project!
Our first Game Jam taught us a lot! Thanks for checking out this quirky management horror game!

Install instructions
You will likely run into Windows being a protective OS and say "Windows Protected Your PC".
This happens because its an unrecognized program that was downloaded and will do this to any program that does the same without being a known publisher (one day I hope to fix that).
Clicking More Info will give you the option to run anyway.
Always know what you are downloading before running any software. In this case, this is just a Game Jam submission from a very new indie dev.
I assure you this program is non-malicious, and it barely works as friendly software, let alone evil. :D
I appreciate you checking it out!

Really wonderful game. I had a lot of fun with it. Cute and creative, I could see myself getting lost in this game for hours! Simple, yet very addicting concept! I enjoyed this a lot!
This is such a great and clever concept! I love the art, and especially the faces of the characters, they look so silly c: Would be a lot of fun on a hand-held console for the pixel-y design, and the Craig's List-style listings in-game were a great touch. I love darker themes with silly humor, very nice balance and an easy concept to learn and get the hang of c:
Thank you for playing!
I downloaded this game this AM and have been playing it since. It's well designed, a clever story line/plot, and "classic" feeling. it's well polished, the art is well thought out, and overall - just a really fun game. I haven't been doing any actual work since installing it.
Since this was a first Game Jam attempt, we appreciate your understanding for the occasional bug. This project required much more care than I had time for. HOWEVER, it may not actually be bugged, but just haunted.
