You need living beings to do your legwork. You are insubstantial and immaterial, however. You don’t know why you’re dead or how you got dead - you don’t know much of anything - but you know you want to know, and you know you have until morning to do it. I want to be as spoiler-free as possible, here, so I’ll keep the premise-sketching to a minimum. That’s my experience with Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. I mean in a way that has you nodding and smiling in recognition even as it gives you all-new fun. I don’t mean this in the stale way that has you rolling your eyes at another shooting-gallery warehouse full of crates and dumb henchmen, another moody pretty-boy protagonist or another match-the-shapes puzzle mechanism. To do so, he learns of "ghost tricks", which are special powers of the dead which allow him to possess and manipulate objects, travel over phone lines and even go back four minutes in time to reverse a person's death (that is not his own), which will aid him as he progresses within his adventure to rediscover his lost fate.When you’ve been intimate with video games for a good long time, every so often you’ll get your hands on a title in which every nook and cranny echoes with games you’ve played before. This game allows the player to take control of the newly dead protagonist named Sissel on a dark night, who is on a journey to seek out the mystery of who he is and why he was murdered before dawn reaches, where he will 'cease to exist'. The iOS version, although free for download, has only the first two chapters of the game available as a trial demo, and the following chapters must be bought in order to play them. An iOS version was also released in Japan in late 2010, followed by a worldwide release in 2012. It is made by Shu Takumi, a Capcom writer and game director who also created the famed Ace Attorney series. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (Japanese: Ghost Trick (ゴースト トリック - Gōsuto Torikku) is an puzzle adventure game released by Capcom for the Nintendo DS in 2010 for Japan, before it was released worldwide the year after.
