A Ghost in the Gallery is an interactive comic. Bop and Ghostie spend Halloween night searching an art gallery for their missing dog. It's set in the "Pulpy world of ART-O-Ween", Ledbetter Games' earlier Halloween project, and it's built with Cadin Batrack's Panels comic framework. You advance through the panels with the crank and D-pad, or with the D-pad alone. A "Candy Update" (v1.2) added candy to collect with the A button throughout the story, which unlocks a special holiday follow-up ending.
It's by Dylan Warren of Ledbetter Games, with art by Robyn Heffler and music by David Boyd. It's a 2.8 MB, $3 Catalog release from December 2023, and Panic lists it in its "Great Stories" collection. The content note mentions only "some very mild Halloween-related imagery".
