Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective game offers a refreshing twist on the mystery genre, blending intricate puzzles, compelling storytelling and a charming cast of characters that will keep the audience hooked from start to finish.
Ghost Trick presents a unique and intriguing gameplay experience, successfully combining visual novel elements with environmental puzzle-solving. Despite its linearity, it engrosses the player with clever humor, witty dialogue, and an engaging cast. However, its short length and lack of replayability can be seen as shortcomings. The remaster significantly improves the game's visuals and user interface, enhancing the overall experience and making it feel like a modern title.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective deserves to haunt storefronts 12 years after its initial release. It is a haunting experience you will want to have at least once. But is there enough here to keep you coming back?

With Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Capcom brings a title into modern times that didn't get the fame it deserved when it was first released. Because the adventure of Sissel and all the characters he meets on that fateful night is not only fantastically written, but also beautifully staged. Each chapter surprises with new mechanics and twists that lead to a grandiose finale at the end. A must-play for all mystery and crime fans.
