->''Lorian V is a place of myth and legend that many have attempted to explore and from which few have returned. There are numerous theories about what this moon actually is, but the most important thing to know about it is that when people end up there the result always seems to be the same. Death. The moon is haunted by the souls of its victims; ghosts who linger on while their twisted bodies roam, no more than empty vessels of chaos and aggression.''

''[[https://kickstarter.com/projects/1192311215/ghost-song-a-journey-of-hope Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope]]'' is a {{Metroidvania}} exploration horror game funded on Website/{{Kickstarter}}. The player takes the role of a member of the crew of The Gambler, a space vessel which has crash landed on Lorian V, a hostile moon haunted by the ghosts of those who had been trapped there. Armed with only the [[PoweredArmor Deadsuit]], the player must solve the mysteries of Lorian V and rescue the other members of the Gambler's crew.

There's just the matter of all the dead people trying to kill you.

Not to be confused with [[GhostSong an actual ghost singing]].

An ExpansionPack, simply titled ''Ghost Song'', is released in November 2022.
----
!!''Ghost Song contains examples of''
* AIIsACrapshoot: Rook was once the protector of the Captain's daughter, but he was damaged in the crash.
** In the first gameplay trailer, a robot named Adam has been standing guard for his master's party... for the past seventy years. He quickly becomes hostile to the protagonist when she tries to go in without a gift.
* AmbidextrousSprite: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The protagonist's gun stays on her left arm at all times.
* ArmCannon: The protagonist has one as her left hand. It seems fairly standard for human (or [[WasOnceAMan formerly human]]) enemies
* BadassCape / ScarfOfAsskicking: The Protagonist wears something that's a little in between, a red poncho.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: They inhabit the Bug Tunnels. The average ones are heavily armored, and we see a boss one the size of a truck in the Kickstarter pitch video.
* BodyHorror: The zombies are... melty looking. It's not pleasant. And that really is the least of it.
* CyberCyclops: The protagonist's suit gives her the appearance of one of these.
* DashAttack: It can be used for navigation, or in conjunction with an ability in order to make armored enemies vulnerable.
* {{Expy}}: The Deadsuit for Franchise/{{Metroid}}'s [[PoweredArmor Power Suit]].
** On that note, Rook is one for SA-X.
** The author says Saymund of Ayon 9 is one for [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Siegmeyer Of Caterina]].
* ClosedCircle: The Gambler's crash-landing makes any attempt to escape impossible.
* EvilCounterpart: The Dead Suit wearing bounty hunters, who may not be evil, but definitely in it for themselves. Defeating them gives the player a choice to kill or spare them, as well as their weapons.
* FaceHeelTurn: Rook starts the game as the player's friend and protector. It doesn't last.
* ImplacableMan: As a combat android, Rook is a lot stronger than the powered armored protagonist. This means the best option is generally to run.
%%* LateToTheParty: As typical for the genre.
* MercyKill: Really, any kill is a mercy, but special mention goes to [[spoiler:Matilda]]. You can hear them crying as they fight, and the fight ends with them being impaled by a tree growing out of their body
* {{Metroidvania}}: With a heavy leaning toward the ''Metroid'' side of the equation.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent
** OurGhostsAreDifferent: They stick around until their physical remains are destroyed, and are most definitely not friendly.
** OurZombiesAreDifferent: They walk around because they are searching for their ghosts, and look like they've been around for a while.
%%* PoweredArmor: The Deadsuit
* {{Precursors}}: They built ancient ruins under the surface of the moon. Whether they were [[AbusivePrecursors abusive]] or [[BenevolentPrecursors benevolent]] remains to be seen, but judging by what's going on on the moon it's leaning towards the former.
%%* RecurringBoss: Rook, in the style of [[VideoGame/MetroidFusion SA-X]].
* RobotBuddy: Dizzy, who follows the player around and acts as Saymond's mouthpiece for giving out lore and other information.
%%* RuinsForRuinsSake
%%* StringyHairedGhostGirl
* WasOnceAMan: Lorian V is a graveyard of wrecked ships. Their former occupants never left.
