Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective – Murder mystery puzzle extravaganza

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, a murder mystery puzzle game by Shu Takumi, features a deceased character.

Beginning with a young lady being killed by a hitman in black, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective opens with an unidentified spirit observing. It doesn’t take the ghost long to discover his own corpse and discover that he has exceptional abilities. He can, for example, communicate with other people’s corpses, travel back in time four minutes, and, most crucially, own and control numerous items.

In order to stop a young lady from being shot by a close-range assassin using a combination of bicycles, flags, and old guitars—so that she may be shot again someplace else—our recently deceased amnesiac hero, Sissel, has just been informed that he can go four minutes into the past. Sissel will also save her life at that point. then once more after that.

A strange voice informs you that the blue flame hovering above your body is your soul, and the white sphere beside it is a core. You can navigate between white spheres, and when you return to the actual world from the Ghost World, you may possess inanimate items and perform pranks with them. A “Ghost Trick” as basic as opening and closing a door, moving a cart, or turning on a television can be utilised to transport your soul about the environment.

Although much effort has been made to make the aesthetics seem excellent on contemporary monitors, the gameplay remains in the same area of the screen with boundaries on either side in this remaster. The smoother animations are excellent, but the images and text are the true stars of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective’s aesthetic update.

Whatever screen resolution, windowed/windowless mode, or aspect ratio you select from the game’s fairly limited graphical settings, Ghost Trick is always presented in a pillarboxed window with a 4:3 play area.

Despite being primarily a puzzle game, you may frequently transition between various permanent places, giving the game more freedom than it would otherwise have. While the game was extremely pixelated on the DS, it looks stunning here. The character art is fluid and detailed, and the animation is great. It’s difficult to believe this is a 13-year-old DS game, but it is.

The actual heart of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective’s notion, though, is in the phases when you have to complete something within a certain amount of time. When exploring new regions, you’ll frequently come across a dead body, and you’ll almost always need to utilise your powers to save that person’s life.

When you possess a dead corpse, you will be able to communicate with their soul and travel back in time four minutes before they died. It’s up to you at this point to possess and alter items in order to change fate and save your victim, all while an hourglass on the right side of the screen counts down. If time runs out, you will die, but you can return to the beginning and try again. When you make a significant modification, a type of checkpoint is formed that allows you to return directly after fate has altered. It’s a fantastic system.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective’s updated edition is a cleaner and smoother version of the DS classic. If you’ve never played it before, you’re in for a treat.Ghost Trick, with its superb resurrection, is a game not to be missed.
