I was pleasantly surprised with this game. The style of play is a nice blend between combat first person shooting and action/adventure puzzle. You play as a ghost and you can possess all kinds of different things with different effects. For example, you can possess a telephone in order to scare a janitor, who you can then possess so you can open a locked door, etc. This leads to some very fun little puzzles which require you to find a certain sequence of things to possess in order to progress. I’m surprised that this game doesn’t have a sequel yet because it was so much fun to play.

The only drawback is that the game is extremely linear. There always seems to be one sequence of events to move you forward so you don’t really get much of a sense of exploration with your ghost. But overall, it was a good game that I would recommend if you want a taste of something new.
