After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in Interactive Media/Game Development from Clark University in May 2024, Jay Lam — a gay, neurodivergent, Asian man, was motivated by his peers to keep creating fun games with diverse content. A few folks from the old team — named  Studio Blue Jay, for his thesis project game, ‘Starbound Wanderers’, stuck around. Jay tackled on the roles of Founder, Marketing Director, Producer, and 2D Artist, for Studio Blue Jay. 

‘Ghost Jukebox’ spawned from several nights of pitching new game ideas for Studio Blue Jay’s first official debut game as an indie studio over the Summer of 2024. That was how our cozy rhythm game came into existence!

We want to explore each unique character in depth from ‘Ghost Jukebox’, with atmospheric visuals and music in a stress-free environment — remove the stigma away from therapy and chats about mental health.

Get to experience memorable stories — from loss, grief, denial, fear, anger, love, closure, acceptance, and many more emotions in the shoes of lost souls from the beyond.
