Remember those Ghostbusters videos we had here a couple of days ago? You might also remember that besides finding out the videos came from Zootfly, an european developer, we had yet to find out exactly what was that we saw. A game in the making? Super secret project? Some bored employee’s lunchtime project?

Well Zootfly updated its website with good and bad news. Indeed the videos are of a Ghostbusters game in early development, running on Zootfly’s proprietary game engine. Sadly the project has hit a standstill due to IP ownership problems. The Ghostbuster’s franchise is legendary in its ownership complexity but the Zootfly team is hoping to resolve the issue and get back to work soon.

And if the project never saw the light of day, not all is lost. Zootfly is also working on another game, called TimeO which is ‘closely related’ to the Ghostbusters game, it takes place on an alternate dimension New York, where the whole city is a war machine bent on destroying our world. Sounds just like the original Ghostbusters movie. Get the hype machine running, its time.
