About Boo-Keeping!
Boo-Keeping! is a free horror game for browser and mobile about the worst night job in the afterlife. You are the new night clerk at the Bureau of Departed Accounts. Spirits line up at your hatch with claims for paper iPhones, paper mansions, moaning lessons and emotional damage from the in-laws. Read each form, add up the lines on the adding machine, and stamp it PAID or DENIED. The ghosts are adorable. Most of them, anyway.
Not everyone at the hatch is a spirit. Forged seals, future dates and feet on the floor camera give the impostors away, and if you pay one it drops its face. Turn your chair to the shrine to tap the wooden fish for Merit and keep the incense burning, ring the bell when you hear footsteps, flip the breaker when the lights die, pull the blind when something taps on the window, and hang up when the voice on the phone gets the passcode wrong. Behind you, the Auditor is walking up the corridor. Every bad stamp brings it closer. Once it is in the room, do not turn around. Seven nights, one ledger that is off by exactly one soul, and two endings.
