About

I’m ShuGhost, a solo indie developer creating unusual interactive games and desktop experiences. I design, program, publish, and support my projects independently. My released games include Desktop Gremlins, an evolving virtual pet with Steam Workshop and Twitch integration, and DR. VIOLET'S NIGHT OFF. I enjoy building characters and systems that interact with players in unexpected ways. My goal is to grow ShuGhost into a recognizable independent studio, collaborate with creators and artists, and continue releasing memorable games that feel personal, playful, and alive. I’m always open to feedback, creator collaborations, publishing opportunities, and conversations with people interested in indie games and interactive software.

Desktop Gremlins on Steamp/desktop-gremlins-on-steam•

What would you want from a virtual pet living on your desktop?

Hi everyone!

I m the solo developer of Desktop Gremlins, an interactive virtual pet for Windows. It lives transparently above your applications, reacts to music and programs, develops through different character forms, and can occasionally cause playful desktop chaos.

While building it, I realized that different people expect very different things from a desktop companion. Some want a calm pet that sleeps beside their work. Others want customization, minigames, useful reminders, funny interactions, or livestream integration.

Desktop Gremlins currently includes pet care, evolution, moods, multiple monitors, window attachment, Steam Workshop characters, visual effects, and Twitch Channel Point rewards.

Desktop Gremlins on Steam - Small games. Strong personalities.

Desktop Gremlins is an interactive Windows pet that lives above your apps, evolves through multiple forms, reacts to music, and occasionally causes playful chaos. Feed it, attach it to a window, install community sprites through Steam Workshop, or let Twitch viewers trigger effects with Channel Points.
