Our take on Ghostory
The two-form puzzle design creates a trade-off: solving stages requires managing separate human and ghost capabilities, including leaving the backpack behind when becoming incorporeal. This focused mechanic leaves less room for combat or broader character systems.
What is Ghostory?
Ghostory is a 2D pixel-art puzzle platformer about a cursed traveler seeking a cure in a dangerous cave system.
In human form, the traveler can operate levers, collect keys, jump, and carry a backpack. Ghost form allows flight and movement through walls, but requires leaving the backpack behind. Progress depends on combining both forms to solve increasingly demanding puzzles. The game includes dozens of levels that introduce new mechanics and multi-stage challenges, alongside a story about the curse, an antidote, and a special mushroom found in a nearby cave. Retro-styled graphics, atmospheric music, responsive controls, and frequent puns accompany the cave adventure.
