The Groom of Gallagher Mansion โ€” Development News 05/01/23

If you've been following our social media pages, you might have caught a whiff of another project we've been developing on the side...

"Even death won't do us part," Elias Gallagher — the ghost of a man you've just met — mutters. He's resigned to unhappiness, but perhaps you hold the key to breaking his curse... if you're so inclined.

In a bid to stop the Occult History and Sciences Investigation Club (that's the OHSIC, and don't you forget it!) from losing funding, President Taylor Potts and you, the Vice President, have got to find a way to attract new members somehow. And what better way to prove that the club still has value to the campus board than to prove that ghosts really do exist? Dressed in some exquisite wedding attire and armed with a rose and earpiece, you're marched right up to the old Gallagher Mansion, a site of some grisly murders circa early 1900s, to trick a dead man into thinking that you too were abandoned at the altar.

Will you find glory and fame, riches and spoils? Or perhaps this whole thing is a lot more than you bargained for and you'll actually fall in love with a ghost...

The Steam page for The Groom of Gallagher Mansion has gone public for wishlisting! We've been developing TGoGM while Biscuit and the rest of the main Something's Wrong With Sunny Day Jack team do their thing, and if you enjoy what the current SDJ demo has to offer, we're sure you'll enjoy this spooky romp of a romcom.
