Lore & Background

Ghost Detective is listed among Wooga's smartphone games portfolio, alongside titles such as June's Journey, Pearl's Peril, and Agent Alice. Wooga shifted its focus to mobile games in 2012, and Ghost Detective was developed as part of the company's later strategy to concentrate exclusively on story-driven casual games. The game is designed for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, with a narrative-driven experience targeting casual players, particularly women.

Reader's Guide

Ghost Detective represents Wooga's continued investment in story-driven casual games after the company's pivot from social network games to mobile. Following a downturn in 2015–2016, Wooga laid off 40 employees and refocused on casual gaming, leading to the success of June's Journey. Ghost Detective is part of this renewed portfolio, though the article does not provide specific release dates or sales figures for the game. Its inclusion in Wooga's lineup underscores the company's commitment to plot-based mobile games, which have become a key revenue driver for the studio under Playtika ownership.
