Ghost Trick is a game about death, the nature of existence, time traveling, and using your disembodied soul to open refrigerator doors in trash heaps. I know this might be old news to some, but I hadn't played the game until a recent event, and its combination of style and interesting puzzle mechanics could make for a very entertaining experience.
About this Game
Ghost Trick combines mystery, logic puzzles and the supernatural into a compelling experience on Nintendo DS. Part adventure game, part puzzle game, Ghost Trick's gameplay will challenge player's brains while its distinctive art style and character designs courtesy of members of Capcom's Ace Attorney series, will please the eye.
In the game, players are transported into the spirit world of Sissel, a murder victim who has lost his memory and returned as a ghost to solve the mystery of his suspicious demise. As Sissel's ghost it’s up to players to possess and manipulate items found in the real world to solve the captivating puzzles he encounters. Using the stylus players will need to carefully choose the path for Sissel to travel, possessing objects in order to trigger the correct item that when manipulated will alter the fate of others and begin to unravel the strange truth about who Sissel is and why he was murdered. How will you scare off the unwary assassin? There are many routes to choose from but not all of them will be obvious. It’s up to you to solve the crime but be warned, Sissel only has until dawn before he has to leave the supernatural world for good. Will you discover the truth before his time runs out?
