Ghost Keeper Leaves Early Access on July 16

Developer Quest Craft and publisher Gaming Factory has announced that Ghost Keeper, their reverse-horror strategy game, will officially graduate from Steam Early Access into its full 1.0 release on July 16, 2026. The full launch is scheduled for 17:00 UTC / 19:00 CEST. While the base price will remain at $12.99, a special launch discount will accompany the release to celebrate the milestone.

In Ghost Keeper, you assume control of ghastly minions to terrify humans and reclaim territory for demonic citizens. The full release expands the roster to nine unique ghosts – such as William the Scorned Poet and Sir Pounce de Léon – each offering distinct supernatural playstyles.

Moving past its community-driven Early Access phase, the 1.0 version introduces the definitive vision of the title, headlined by a complete story campaign spanning eight handcrafted, Victorian-era locations. These maps include William’s Mansion, Phineas’ Estate, The City Sewers, The Cemetery, The Village, The Fish Market, The Mad Dentist Hospital, and the Brotherhood Secret Outpost.

Release version 1.0 of the tactical puzzle-strategy game also features enhanced challenges, including a brand-new type of ghost hunter known as The Destroyer, forcing you to rethink your strategies against the malicious Brotherhood of Light.
