When play testing Poltergeist Prodigy, I considered using an energy bar that would limit what scare abilities you could perform. In the end that felt like it hurt the power fantasy of being a ghost so interacting with everything whenever you wanted won out. store.steampowered.com/app/3454810/...

The wonderful @jenjea.bsky.social played my new game, Poltergeist Prodigy, on Twitch this morning. It was both really cool and scary witnessing others playing and considering my game. I kept shifting from grinning to biting my nails. Huge thank you to Jen and her Twitch community for the feedback.

In the early playtest versions of Poltergeist Prodigy, you had an energy bar that restricted what haunting abilities you could use. I'm pleased I scrapped that. Instead you have unlimited energy and can haunt to your heart's content. store.steampowered.com/app/3454810/...

Took the week off from my day job and have been working on Poltergeist Prodigy instead. Just added a new haunting ability that works really well, priming objects to activate and scare people as they approach rather than directly interacting with them.
