About
In Life's Too Short, you take on the role of a celestial problem-solver as you're tasked with repairing a rift between two vampires who have dramatically fallen out and confined themselves to their respective coffins...

You won't be doing this alone! As you explore the mansion, you'll meet a cast of ghastly ghouls and creepy cats (They're all very lovely underneath it all...)

As you solve simple puzzles in order to put the mansion back together and mend the rift in the vampires' relationship, you'll find that you're spreading your good vibes around the other residents. Leaving things just a bit better than you found them!

You control a ghost who has apparently been summoned to help a vampire couple living in a mansion stop fighting. To do that, you explore the mansion, pick up items, and use them in the right places to make progress. Nothing is highlighted or marked, so you'll need to get close to anything that looks interesting and press the interaction button to see if something happens. Most objects prompt a comment from the ghost, and some can be picked up right away without first discovering their purpose or triggering a related event. Even though you're a ghost, the game doesn't exactly follow the usual rules. You can carry items, and you can't pass through walls or locked doors. I actually liked that choice because it gives you a reason to search for keys instead of simply floating through every obstacle. To use an item, you select it from the inventory, which places it in the ghost's hands, and then interact with the correct spot. Since the item stays equipped until you put it away yourself, it's easy to wander around trying it on everything. There's no feedback when an item doesn't work, which can be a little awkward, but the puzzles are generally logical enough that I rarely felt completely stuck. The game's title is fitting because it's over almost as quickly as it begins. It lasts around 30 minutes, and the mansion itself is small enough to explore in just a few minutes. If you do get stuck, though, there's a helpful safety net. You can show your inventory items to the butler near the front door, and he'll give you a hint about where to use them.

I played this originally on the Playdate. It's a fun little game. Reminds me a bit of some of the smaller Adventure Games in the 90s and 2000's.
A short, fetch quest style puzzle game. You play as a small ghost who needs to do a few chores and fetch quests around the mansion to help two vampires who have fallen out with each other. The game was quite fun, though I do wish it were a bit longer and had more music for the different areas. Still, it's not bad, and if you enjoy short puzzle games, I recommend giving it a go.
a ghost does not concern itself with the contents of the juicer. super cute! lovely art!
This was cute and fun!
It is, indeed, a very short game but it is very cute and lovely ! I loved it !
Juego pequeñito pero súper disfrutón. Eres un fantasmita que tiene que resolver los problemas que tienen los monstruos de una mansión haciendo uso de cualquier objeto que te puedas ir encontrando por las habitaciones. Tienes acceso en todo momento a un NPC que te da pistas sobre qué hacer con cada objeto, de modo que es difícil atascarse y la experiencia se hace mucho más fluida. Eso sí, es un juego extremadamente corto, y para la media horita que me duró, creo que el precio es algo excesivo, aunque no es algo que me haga bajarle muchos puntos.
ティザームービーが出た時から楽しみにしていたゲーム! シンプルな謎解きパズルゲームという感じで、20~30分くらいでクリアできる。 ボリュームは若干物足りなく感じるものの、操作キャラのおばけがとにかく可愛い。館の住人たちも掘り下げが欲しいくらい良いキャラしてる。あとBGMとドットのグラフィックもすごく好き。 日本語対応してくれてありがとうございます!続編の情報も出ているので楽しみにしています!
Un petit jeu vraiment adorable que j’ai découvert un peu par hasard ! 🦇 J’ai beaucoup aimé l’humour complètement décalé, le pixel art et tous les petits détails du manoir. L’histoire est complètement absurde, mais c’est justement ce qui fait son charme 😂 C’est assez court — environ une petite heure — mais vu le prix, je trouve ça totalement honnête. Pas de gros casse-tête, juste de l’exploration, des objets à trouver et plein de personnages improbables à rencontrer. Et finalement, derrière toutes ces histoires de vampires qui se prennent la tête, le message est plutôt simple : la vie est trop courte pour rester fachés ❤️ Un petit jeu pas très connu que je suis vraiment contente d’avoir découvert !
