Roguelike Deckbuilder THE SPIRIT LIFT Summons New Story Trailer in Ghouls 4 Games

Take a closer look at the haunted hotel at the heart of this spooky indie arriving in 2026

THE SPIRIT LIFT, the retro horror deckbuilder roguelike set in a haunted hotel from prettysmart games, revealed a new narrative trailer during the “Ghouls 4 Games” Fall 2025 Showcase.

Check out the new trailer for fresh hints and details about the hotel, its ghastly inhabitants, and the interplay between the cards hidden within its paranormal hallways. Look closely, and you might discover an intriguing puzzle with secret rewards to boost your ghostly encounters!

Ascend each floor to find helpful items like rollerblades, hand mirrors, and fire extinguishers that provide an advantage in battle against haunted dolls, fanatical fungi, and misshapen ghouls.

Don’t forget to stop by Dorian Graywolf’s shop for the essentials – a pack of gum or a healing kit could mean the difference between victory and defeat!

Assemble a team of three teenage paranormal investigators to sneak into the hotel and scour each floor for clues. Then ride the supernatural elevator up… up… and up… to finally face the horror hidden in the penthouse suite.

If the team dies, don’t worry – unlock handy boons to aid in your ascent, and if all fails, try again!
