Our take on Ghosts of Miami
Time is limited within each case, so pursuing a romantic relationship competes with solving the investigation. That tradeoff shapes the story’s structure, alongside choices that affect Chelo’s development and the ending.
What is Ghosts of Miami?
Set in Miami in 1986, this narrative adventure follows Chelo Martínez as she starts a private investigation business focused on missing-person cases.
Players choose where to investigate, decide how to handle suspicious witnesses, and select whom to call for backup. The game includes five cases, one involving Chelo’s father, who disappeared ten years earlier. Time is limited during each case, creating a conflict between pursuing leads and developing romantic relationships with an EMT or Chelo’s childhood friend. Choices influence Chelo’s development and the story’s outcome. The game features illustrations, an original soundtrack, danger, tragedy, and seven possible endings.
