It’s always nice to find a puzzle game with a twist, and in that regard this game provides that and makes the game challenging. The basic aim of the game is to scare away the people populating the level by possessing items around the world and then performing their various actions. The puzzle aspect of this comes really in trying to corral the people wandering the level to get the most efficient scares. I have to admit I rather love that as a concept, admittedly its hardly the first to come up with such an idea. Ghost Master did it before this and Monsters Inc (the movie not the game) did it before that.

This isn’t a long a game, but then nor should it be. It has a simple premise with easy to understand mechanics and it executes them well. I’d rather have a short well made and focused game than a long meandering one, plus for just under £4 its pretty cheap to boot.
