Ghost Trick Phantom Detective

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, a 2010 puzzle adventure game by Capcom, follows the amnesiac spirit Sissel in an enigmatic town. Players use "Ghost Tricks" to solve puzzles and uncover the truth behind his death by morning.

Created by Shu Takumi, the mind behind Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick aimed to push boundaries. It released on the Nintendo DS in 2010, receiving praise for design, visuals, music, and story, with some criticism for its puzzles.

Despite acclaim, Ghost Trick had lackluster sales, impacting Capcom's earnings. It received award nominations and an Editors' Choice. A HD remaster launched on multiple platforms in 2023.

Ghost Trick Phantom Detective Gameplay

In Ghost Trick, players solve puzzles as Sissel, a spirit with supernatural abilities protecting lives over one night. The game shifts between the living world, where time flows, and the Ghost World, where time stands still.

In the Ghost World, Sissel can manipulate luminescent "Cores" to affect objects. In the living world, he inhabits these objects, using "Ghost Tricks" to change characters' fates. For example, moving donuts can reveal new paths.

The game has two parts: advancing the story through telephone lines and altering destinies with Ghost Tricks. Sissel can eavesdrop on dialogues and trace calls, creating a map of locations and characters.

Sissel's unique power lets him inhabit lifeless bodies and rewind time by four minutes, altering fate and saving lives. If successful, the saved spirit can communicate. Failure lets players restart or return to a checkpoint.

The game introduces Missile, a spectral Pomeranian, adding complexity with extended reach and object-swapping abilities in "4 Minutes Before Death" episodes.
