Afterlife

Where do Pac-Man's ghosts go when they die? They come here — to the ghost town full of life!

Make the third life of duszki* go smoothly and pleasantly by expanding their eternal resting place in a way that meets all their needs in this city builder simulation straight from the golden era of computer games!

* duszek (n., pl. duszki) — The second-order spectral form of ghosts from Pac-Man, which they transform into when they die. Duszki are playful and hard-working; they enjoy nature, gourmet food, and spending time with other duszki.
