Game Description
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, also known simply as Ghost Trick, is a puzzle-adventure game that puts you in the shoes of a ghost named Sissel. Just killed, with no memory of who you are, Sissel wakes up to find he has a limited time to solve the mystery of his own death. Along the way, you use unique ghostly abilities to possess objects and rewind time to prevent other deaths. It’s a mix of clever puzzles and intriguing story moments that feel fresh—even years after its original release.
What’s the Deal with Ghost Trick?
If you’re wondering how a game lets you control objects as a ghost, you’re in for an odd but fun ride. Sissel can jump into things around him—like lamps, phones, or even coffee mugs—and use them to change what happens next. It’s like a puzzle, but with a supernatural twist. Want to stop someone from getting hurt? Possess a bicycle and send it rolling their way. It’s weirdly satisfying.

Is It For Puzzle Fans?
Absolutely, but don’t expect a walk in the park. The puzzles require some thinking and creativity—especially when you need to figure out which object to possess to trigger the right chain of events. Need a challenge? You got it. But even if you’re just here for the story, it has enough charm to keep you hooked.
Quick Tips for New Players
- Pay attention to small details—they matter more than you think.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different objects.
