Jumpscare to Live
A downloadable game for Windows
In Jumpscare to Live, you'll play the role of a ghost who is trying to protect their living roommate from a person outside the house. Unfortunately, Roommate doesn't realize what danger lurks at his window, and thinks you're just tormenting him. Maybe he'll get the picture if you keep knocking things over? If it means keeping your poor, oblivious friend safe from harm, then it's worth trying!
Demo Features
- The first stage of gameplay, complete with cut scenes and tutorial

Hey! Let me start by saying I love love the concept and am trying really hard to be a helpful ghost!
Looking forward to the full release!
Will try my best to be a good ghost roommate and beat the hour haha
Thanks so much for playing and sharing your video! You are a very helpful ghost, but Killer is a cheater!
We updated the demo to stop Killer from cheating, which makes the game a lot more fair. You'll have to download the game fresh though, but we hope you'll enjoy it if you do. 😀
I did it! Had a lot of fun playing your game, looking forward to full version.
Congratulations! We're so glad you saved Roommate! We're looking forward to sharing the story and game with everyone. 🥰
this is a very interesting concept for a game, something i've never seen before, hats off to you man,
Thanks so much, we're really glad you enjoyed it!
It convinced me by being one of the most unusual games I ever played.
We're glad you found it unusual, that's what we were going for. Thanks for sharing your video and giving it a go!
hi, big thx for the cool game. greetings from rosti 😘
Thanks for sharing your video Rosti! We're glad you liked it and hope you'll enjoy the full game when it releases too.
sure my friend 😍
Such a fun game! I love how wholesome Ghost is, and even after turning off jumpscares the game is suspensful and spooky.
We believe wholesomeness and silliness absolutely belong in horror games. It makes the scary stuff so much more potent. We're really glad you enjoyed the game and the atmosphere. Thanks for your support!
I love the dialogue of the ghost and the animations. On my first play through, I was having so much fun exploring the house and doing the ghost tasks that I kept forgetting I had to keep an eye on roommate and would get a jumpscare when he would die. Totally fun experience.
There really is a lot to juggle, thanks so much for your support! We're really happy you enjoyed the dialogue and animations!
If only you could have an emergency meeting to vote Killer out!
We're delighted you enjoyed the game and are gonna work hard to get it done soon!
Thanks for sharing your video! We loved your commentary and we're glad you enjoyed the game.
We don't like RNG in this house, so we made sure you can do tasks even when Roommate isn't in the same room as Ghost. Like you noted, it'd be way too stressful otherwise.
Thanks again, we hope you'll check out the full game when it's ready!
Will do! Good luck with the future development of this game!

REALLY FUN GAME DEV
Thanks so much for playing JtL and posting a video of your play through!
We hadn't tested on a 4K screen yet, so we'll be taking a look at scaling options for our UI elements so they're still legible on larger screens.
Just so you know, when you hold Right-Click you can see through walls to see where Roommate and Killer are. That should help make keeping an eye on Roommate and Killer a lot easier. Thanks again and we're glad you enjoyed the game!
Loved it! I managed to finish the demo and it was fun. Can't wait for full release!
It looks like you got hit by our audio bug we thought we fixed! 😭
Thanks for sharing your video! We're looking forward to the full release too!
I found the concept of a ghost trying to scare his roommate in order to save him to be quite interesting and fun. I did not manage to complete the game as it is actually quite difficult to monitor the roommate and the antagonist at the same time while completing the tasks. I don't know why but I couldn't sense the antagonist when I right-clicked to sense the location of humans.
This was a fun horror game and the game had cool game mechanics. Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
Thanks so much for giving it a go and sharing your video! While trying to detect the living, all the living look the same to Ghost. It's difficult to tell at a glance if you're looking at Roommate or the killer. This will be great feedback for us to keep in mind as we work on completing the game.
Thanks again and good luck to you too!
