    It’s not the quantity of a game that counts, it’s the quality, and Speed Dating for Ghosts has more than enough of the latter to make up for the relative lack of the former. It’s a relatively unique game, so if you’re in the market for something different, be sure to check it out.

    Speed Dating with Ghosts is a short experience, and it never transcends into any grandiose meaning-of-life deeper layer. However, it gets pretty close.
