Our take on Ghost Town
The presentation calls this an epic adventure, while the stated play centers on a single-player puzzle mystery. The main activities are exploring set locations, solving tactile challenges, casting spells, and following Edith’s investigation rather than taking part in a broad action system.
What is Ghost Town?
Set in London in 1983, this single-player VR puzzle adventure follows Edith Penrose, a ghost hunter investigating her brother’s disappearance.
Players explore haunted locations with a controller in each hand and use a torch to light the way. The game combines environmental exploration with tactile puzzles, spell casting, and spirit summoning. Its story visits a theatre, a London tower block, a remote lighthouse, and a Scottish island. Characters are presented through motion capture and professional voice acting, while the supernatural mystery unfolds among artifacts and other detailed surroundings.
