Ghost In The Mirror - Mix of horror and adventure
Ghost In The Mirror is a creative mix of humor and adventure, brought to life by Sui, an indie developer from Italy. While it was first planned as a horror game, it quickly shifted into something more light-hearted. The game is a series of episodes, each packed with puzzles and interesting stories. If you enjoy classic adventure games or just love a good story, Ghost In The Mirror promises a fun and engaging time. This is the Android version, but you can also get it on Steam for your Windows PC.
Story
Though "Ghost In The Mirror" starts off with spooky questions, it's not your typical ghost story. Sui, the game's creator, first wanted to make a horror game but ended up focusing on humor and breaking the fourth wall. This turn of events makes the game more about laughter and less about scares.
The first episode, "Here Be Dragons," takes players back to the 18th century. You’ll follow Roger, a character with questionable morals, as he explores a pirate village, solves puzzles, and interacts with colorful characters. The mix of historical settings, light comedy, and mystery makes for an entertaining gameplay experience.
What to expect?
Ghost In The Mirror offers players lots to look forward to:
- Rich 2D Worlds: Explore detailed pixel-art scenes that bring each story to life.
- Fun Puzzles: Solve a range of puzzles that challenge your thinking and creativity, much like old-school adventure games.
- Exciting Stories: Each episode tells its own story, but they all connect through a mysterious theme that links the living to the dead.
- Interactive Gameplay: Talk to characters, collect items, and use them in clever ways to progress in the game.
- Choices Matter: The choices you make change how the story ends, giving you different experiences each time you play.
- Great Music: The game’s soundtrack enhances the atmosphere and keeps you immersed in the world.
The game also works well on various devices, whether you prefer using a touchscreen, keyboard, mouse, or controller, making it easy for everyone to get into. It's worth noting that "Here Be Dragons" is just the start, with more episodes available separately, each offering its own unique fun and adventures.
Sui’s passion and creativity shine throughout the gameplay, making it a must-try for anyone looking for something different in the realm of adventure games.
