As an extra treat, I had an exclusive interview with the Adoraboo Studios team!
1. What inspired the story of Matchmaking for Ghosts?
Phenom came up with the idea of Matchmaking for Ghosts after playing the indie Itch.io game Speedating for Ghosts. MFG was originally going to be just that: Speed Dating but with a more anime art style kind of vibe. There were going to be 9 characters you could date, and it was going to be quite fast-paced. Then, after playing Baldur’s Gate 3, Phenom saw the origin character playthroughs. The idea of being able to play as, and essentially play against or with your own character was extremely interesting. So these ideas were combined together. As the world and characters were developed (by Phenom & Light), the writing scope expanded much more, and we decided to go for a heavier and more impactful visual novel as opposed to more of a fast-paced comedic parody one.
2. What part of Matchmaking for Ghosts are you most proud of?
We’re most proud of the characters and world we’ve built. We have a very rich and diverse cast, with each of them having their own personalities, dreams, and tragedies. We hope that players can resonate with them as well as enjoy the unique nature of being able to potentially date your playable character. In addition, we think the Infinite Hotel has a lot of the creepy and cozy elements of some of our favorite media!
3. Are you or the Team horror fans? What are some of your favorite horror media (Games, movies, books)?
Yes, we are big horror fans! Phenom is personally a gigantic fan of RPG-maker horror games, his favorites being Corpse Party and Outlast II. Light enjoys a wide range of horror games from silly whimsical ones to carefully orchestrated psychological ones, her favorites being The Cat Lady, Fran Bow, and Until Dawn.
4. Do you guys have a favorite character from Matchmaking for Ghosts?
We all have different favorite characters. Phenom and Lily like Alice the most. Light’s favorite is Bella, Nuked’s is Mary, and Will’s is Flynn.
5. Who do you think will become a fan favorite?
That’s a great question! We think the fan favorite will likely be Mary and Ryder. Mary is a very relatable character emotionally, and she also has the kind of bite that makes people want to cherish her sweet side. Ryder would probably be because he’s a big sunshine boy with smarts and courage, yet has endearing goofiness. But Phenom especially is hoping Alice can pull through if we do popularity polls, hehe.
6. Is there anything you’d like fans to know that the trailer didn’t mention?
There are still features of the game we are planning out for the full game. One is an exploration mode where you can walk around the hotel and interact with other characters freely. The GUI and some sprites are also not final. But we hope you enjoyed what you saw so far!
