  1. Sissel found himself in a very difficult position. First, he was murdered. He lost both his memory (where did I hear this before?) and his body, but not his wits. At the location of his body he planned to engage the help of a woman called Lynne to at least understand who he is, why and how he died. Lynne would eventually get murdered like Sissel was, but there’s a twist to it. A lamp possessed by a dead person, called Ray, informed Sissel about his newly acquired ghost powers. With the help of these powers, called ghost tricks, Sissel’s able to possess inanimated objects to alter crime scenes and manipulate scenarios.

    As players, we control Sissel’s powers by traversing and manipulating the environment. At the start of the game we had to make use of those powers to help Lynne and find out about Sissel’s predicament. Lynne eventually shares with Sissel that she’s investigating an apparently solved case. She thinks an innocent person is held behind bars and that there’s a great mystery behind the conviction. Sissel decided to help Lynne investigating her case and in exchange Lynne would help Sissel solving his “mystery of me” as he so well put it. Before Sissel died, Lynne told him that he asked to meet her and arranged a meeting place at the junkyard. The problem’s that, at the time Lynne arrived, Sissel was already dead. After some progress was made, we find out that the events didn’t exactly develop that way.

    Lynne, who works as a detective, was eventually considered a suspect of Sissel’s murder. As if this wasn’t troubling enough, she’s also getting targeted by hitmen, contracted by mysterious people. Sissel was in for some striking revelations when he went into a prison, as requested by Lynne, to see the schedule of a prisoner. He finds out that said prisoner knows him. What could this all mean?

    Before and after puzzle sections, the Trick Time and Rewind Time, there’s story development which I won’t describe here. During Trick Time we either have to investigate something further by manipulating objects in order to clear an objective, or by jumping between locations by getting hold of a phone to travel between different areas through the landline. In order to prevent murders from happening, we have very limited time – 4 minutes to be exact – to possess objects around us and position them in a certain way, unleashing a domino effect that conditions the actions taking place after the timer runs out. The game points us into the right direction with several tips and dialogue bubbles that pop up between actions.

    Some puzzles require good timing to pull off. For example, if someone throws an object in the air it draws a trajectory. Our objective is to catch it at the right time in order to gain access to a previously inaccessible object. All scenes can be replayed in case something fails, however there’s achievements for those who are fast enough to do perfect puzzle solving in certain chapters.

    I haven’t finished the game yet but I didn’t notice any difficulty spikes. I think it depends on the player, whether a scenario is more or less difficult to figure out. During puzzle sections without a time limit we can solve and try everything at our own pace. During time limited events the game requires us to think fast when the action is set in motion. We can always take a breather if we make use of our ghost powers because the time stops when they’re active. The puzzle design is very clever and all the over-the-top characters are memorable within their unique personalities and traits, like Cabanela.

    The version I’m playing is the HD remaster released in June 2023. Originally the game was released in 2010 for the Nintendo DS. It was directed and designed by Shu Takumi who works for Capcom and created the very well known Ace Attorney series. This reminds me that I’m yet to play it, but for the time being I’ll be enjoying the many chapters Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective has in store for me.

  6. I finished a replay of Ghost Trick on the remake last night.

    I remembered the broad outlines but thought there might be some plot holes evident on a second time through. But they writing does a really excellent job of tying together so many threads!
