These ‘ghost tricks’ are performed with the DS stylus, with players having to connect the dots across an environment as they take control of different objects, forcing them to come alive as they navigate offices, construction yards, and studios in search of their next objective.Missile is best boy and no further argument will be accepted.

If you haven’t played Phantom Detective before, it follows a spirit known as Sissel who awakens to find himself murdered, although he has the ability to possess objects in the environment and even interact with the living. All of the ingredients are there, yet it seems the technical and storytelling challenges associated with such an outing have seen it relegated to the shadows.

The sad part is how perfect Ghost Trick is for further expansion, whether it be through a traditional sequel or a crossover with existing franchises. It’s a cult classic, one that has received a handful of ports in recent years to other platforms, but the property has otherwise been left on the shelf. Every scene is a joy, with the narrative depicting a dark tale of mysterious loss that is kept upbeat thanks to stellar writing and an excellent cast of characters. First launched in 2010 exclusively for the Nintendo DS, this absurdly creative narrative adventure came from the minds behind Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and allowed them to explore a new concept stretched to unimaginable proportions. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective still floors me.
