Ghost Trick - Blog Posts
Seriously, though, Sissel said that traveling back 10 years "seemed to take forever" or something to that effect. I wonder if they talked at all. Or did they just sort of float there in silence?
I do like the fact that Cabanela's outfit, scarf aside, is completely monochrome - he seems to wear a lot of grey for someone whose goal is to be "spotless white"! I know the coat is the ~symbolic~ part of what he wears, but I still like the detail, and wonder if it was supposed to mean something.
Playing through Ghost Trick and voicing all the characters with the appropriate animal noises really shouldn’t be so amusing. I was surprised to realise that there actually isn't any dialogue involving humans in the ghost world until chapter 4.
Sissel1 and Sissel2! I couldn't get the dress to look right, but never mind.
I was replaying chapter 16 with my sister (she's 12) and she drew this. I am proud.
I know the joke is that Ghost Trick fans can't tell you why to play it, just that you should, but here's some spoiler-free reasons to play it:
It's an incredible puzzle game. The puzzles are basically Rube-Goldberg machines, where you manipulate objects in a series to effect change in the overall situation. Do you like complex mechanisms and the concept of the butterfly effect? Play this.
The basic gameplay: you are a ghost. You have the ability to posses and manipulate objects, and move from object to object. Someone bas died. You can go to four minutes before their death to change their fate using your Rube Goldberg powers. Also! The puzzles do a great job of ramping you up in difficulty and teaching you the gameplay, but wow do they get HARD in late game. You can replay any puzzle, and also rewind time as you wish. You can't lock yourself out of things by doing it wrong, since you can redo.
The story is SO GOOD. There's a reason why everyone tells you as little as possible -- it's a compelling mystery that sucks you in. The basic idea: you are dead. You need to figure out who you are and who killed you. This spins out into a tale of political intrigue.
It's by Shu Takumi, the creator of Ace Attorney. It has very similar vibes, in that it's absolutely bonkers characters and situations but also WILL make you cry once it's all revealed. Great mix of serious and humorous tones. Seriously, someone dies when a giant roast chicken statue falls on them and the root cause is because of [serious political events]
The aesthetics. Great music, great character design, have you SEEN what the game looks like? Really good use of color and stylization. Character animations are often hilarious.
Missile is there. You WILL love bestest boy. Don't google him. Just trust.
Happy Ghost Trick rerelease day!
I actually said to my bestie last night, "if Capcom was smart they'd port Ghost Trick to the Switch", AND THEN TODAY HAPPENED WOOOOOO WELCOME BACK GHOST TRICK!!!
A Meeting of Souls
I swear if there’s a AA/GT crossover game/movie and Sissel doesn’t interact with Mia Fey then…I just don’t know.
Maybe I should have drawn Pearl instead of Maya, but Maya is such an adorable space-case and I love her to bits.
remembering when my friend was playing ghost trick and voicing dialogue with a couple other friends, and one of them replaced the term "manipulator" with "homosexual" leading to me calling the meteor the gay bomb and establishing [redacted] as the gayest man to exist.
