The Judas Ghost is an interactive visual novel where you’ll be able to move around a mansion in a day / night cycle while choosing which quests to explore, who to interact with, and move at your own pace through each individual girl’s storyline. You’ll also be able to buy outfits and items within a currency system, build your affection level with the girls, and have the ability to find hidden items which may lead to secret scenes.
The story begins when you, the player, are requested to accompany a small group from an all girls church academy to a mansion they recently acquired. The church group is hoping to turn the mansion into a bible retreat. You have been requested to be there by way of a mysterious letter. Soon after you arrive, you’re greeted by a hauntingly beautiful young woman who is unusually… transparent.

Chapter 1 — Final
Additional notes and summary:
The release version 1.2 introduces a new scene that should have played after "Gemma — Booty" and before "Gemma — Salacious". If a player already progressed Gemma’s story up to "Gemma — Salacious" or further, the new scene will be triggered the next time MC visits their room. This might trigger the event immediately if the prerequisites are fullfilled and the player saved in MC’s room.
If the player is able to trigger "Gemma – The right medicine" before playing "Gemma – How to be a good girl", there might be an issue with above triggers. In that case, please report the issue, so that we can have another look. It should be fixed, but reality is a cruel beast.
Generally, this issue does not break the game, but is inconsitent story telling for those two events, if played in the wrong order.
Now, even though we provide a quest progress tracker and just in case, the player should play until the questlog ("Notebook") tells the player that there is no new content available. Some events are delayed and are not immediately available after having played the precursing event. Those are rare and the maximum delay should be one in-game night of rest. These "empty time slots" should get less and less, as we add content and repeatable events.
With the release of version 1.2.0 a new mechanic is introduced, that lets players chose the event they want to play, if the location has multiple events available at a given time. The player can also return to freeroam, which might trigger a priority event, that would start automatically otherwise.
Also, with version 1.2.0 another mechanic is introduced to start an event. For those, the player has to initiate a dialogue with Judy in MC’s room and pick the highlighted choice. The notebook should hint at those events by telling the player something along the lines "I should talk to Judy." or "Judy might know more about this."

Original release v1.0.1
The code development for The Judas Ghost started in Summer 2022. In November 2023 complications ended the development on the original version of The Judas Ghost and a new programmer joined the team.
The decision was made to completely rewrite the code base of the existing game, leaving nothing but the story and art and some minor code snippets that were useful still.
Developer Notes:
We have set the game on hold. As of writing this, we want to focus on the next Over the Moon release before going forward with The Judas Ghost.
The game is still in early stages after a complete code remaster. One of the next steps is to polish the UI and adapt it for better use on mobile devices. An Android port will follow, ideally as self-downloading app.
A cloud synch functionality to move your saves from one device to another is planned.
As forum contact, please @ . Since he is responsible for UI and code, any bugs should also be reported to him. We have a publisher server with a dedicated bug-report channel, too.
Thank you for your interest in our game!
