misbegrave
Welcome to Misbegrave! It's your first night as our new caretaker in the cemetery, and the spirits are restless.
Your job is to help these ghosts find their ideal eternal neighbors by arranging them according to their personality traits and hobbies.
Some ghosts prefer a quiet friend to watch the stars with, while others might enjoy a midnight booo-gie!
You can score points by placing ghosts near those with complementary traits, but you'll lose points if the ghosties are settled near an incompatible gravemate. Some ghosts are extremely picky and will be unhappy no matter where you place them, so do what you can.
Misbegrave is a point multiplier game! Your goal is to match ghosts together to get the highest possible score for each level.
Click each ghost to see their traits, and start placing them in available grave plots (holes.) If someone likes or dislikes their neighbor, they’ll be sure to let you know!
All ghosts have likes and dislikes when it comes to their gravemates, however you can't please everyone. Key things to watch out for:
- Angry Symbols means that a ghost doesn't like their spot. However, you can't please everyone! Some rude ghosts can't be pleased so don't be surprised if they are always angry.
- Heart Symbols mean the ghost love the neighbors they were placed by and you will get extra points!
- Content ghosts will display no symbol. They aren't to picky and will be fine placed in most locations. You may never see a symbol pop over their head.
You can also Skip or Reset a level by tapping S or R!

Super neat concept and idea very well executed! Love the traits, the sounds and the need to think about relations in a more abstract way, other than a few of the games we have done, where it is clearly red doesn’t like blue == -1. My only small “issue” with the game is that it wasn’t fully clear how and what traits ghost are counting then you lay them to rest, hence it is a tad tricky to find the matching traits. Otherwise, amazing entry to the jam!
Too cute to be true. I had some strange things happening on level 8, but maybe that was just ghosts
