Trivia / The Outbound Ghost

• Executive Meddling: On December 8, 2022, there was a public announcement from the developers that all currently released versions of the game were no longer authorized by them, due to the game's publisher (Digerati) meddling with its distribution and quality. Conrad, the lead developer, has released statements on the matter via the game's official Twitter account, which can be viewed here.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content:
  • Backers at or above the "Night Name" Kickstarter tier were able to submit names into the game, which would be displayed in the game's "Graveyard" area and be pooled from as the main protagonist's "default" name at the Hello, [Insert Name Here] scene.
  • Five backers at the "Wraith Writer" tier were able to name a preexisting NPC.
  • Four backers at the "Apparition Author" tier were able to fully design an NPC.
  • Four backers at the "Phantom Friend" tier were able to fully design one of the Figment partners.
  • One backer at the "Eidolon Enigma" tier was able to work with the game's designer to create a story beat.
• What Could Have Been: The Kickstarter's highest backer tier, "Ghost Writer", would have let its single backer design an entire sidequest focusing on an NPC and Figment of their own creation. However, nobody claimed this tier before the fundraising campaign ended.
