Its non-linear, ability-gated structure trades immediate simplicity for exploration organized around newly acquired ghost powers. The intricate map and multiple regions require attention to routes, secrets, materials, and movement abilities.
What is Ebenezer and the Invisible World?
Play as Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser turned hero, in a Victorian-fantasy adventure based on A Christmas Carol.
Explore multiple regions of London, uncover secrets connected to the Malthus family, and fight an army of Unrepentant Ghosts that has descended upon the city. Recruit spectral allies whose abilities open new routes and support movement through the world. Their stories and quests unfold through dialogue and in-game cutscenes. The game uses a non-linear, ability-gated Metroidvania structure with an intricate map, secret areas, and rare materials to discover.
