Grave Mistake

A Grave Mistake

A pixel puzzle about peace, memory, and the dead who still linger.

Created for Pixel Game Jam 2025
Theme: From the Dead

From a botched Necromancer experiment. Restless spirits haunt a forgotten graveyard, their identities buried with them. Piece together each ghost's story using visual hints and cryptic last words. Drag them to their rightful graves to set them free.

Explore seven handcrafted levels featuring:

• 👻 Unique ghost personalities & matching clues

• 🧩 Tactile drag-and-drop puzzle mechanics

• 🎵 Retro-inspired music & ghostly sound design

• 🪦 A satisfying ending when all are finally at rest

🎮 How to Play

• Drag each ghost to the gravestone that matches their story

• If you’re wrong, they’ll return to their starting spot

• Finish the level by helping all spirits find peace

• Some items may help you identify their past

Note: If content is being cut off, please switch the game full screen. This game was designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio.

💀 From the dead… to rest.

Thank you for playing!
