Our take on Ghost Stories
The defining mechanic is the house’s schedule: daytime permits searching, while nighttime closes doors and awakens Max, changing the same setting into a survival scenario.
What is Ghost Stories?
Ghost Stories places the player in a deserted country-house area with no apparent way out.
The objective is to locate hidden objects and Max’s missing head. During the daytime, Max sleeps from 9 am, leaving time for searches and other tasks. After 9 pm, the house doors close and Max begins hunting. Remaining motionless can keep him from noticing the player, while lingering or exposing oneself can lead to death. After 10 pm, a bedroom door opens to reveal a safe that requires multiple keys. An old clock allows the player to check or accelerate time. The game combines exploration, item searches, hiding, running, and survival within a haunted-house setting.
