How much can you really change of the circumstances of a death if you had just 4 minutes to change the entire core of how it happens?
And there’s just one teensy tinsy problem… You’re dead too.
Yeah, that guy dead on the ground? That’s you.
Ghost Trick sets itself apart right from the start with its unique premise. You play as Sissel, a recently deceased spirit who has no recollection of his past life. With the power to manipulate objects and reverse time by 4 minutes, Sissel‘s goal is to unravel the mystery of his own murder, and prevent the deaths of people close to him.
Ironically in a game where the player is dead, the only goal is to keep other people alive. A concept so novel it’s essentially unseen in video games as a medium.
