Geister hausen in Halbträumen und suchen einen Weg zurück, um den Kummer der Lebenden zu lindern - doch ein falscher Schritt bannt sie als Dämonen in quälendes Zwischenreich. Reader, gezeichnet von seiner einzigen Erinnerung an ein Buch, reist mit Writer zum Other Side. Sie begegnen Geistern, Dämonen, heiligen Seelen, Göttern und Singer, deren Rolle in der finsteren Welt immer entscheidender wird.
Dieses retro-stylisierte Indie-Point-and-Click-Adventure bietet Rätsel durch Erkundung von über 55 animierten Schauplätzen sowie Gespräche und Interaktionen mit mehr als 10 Charakteren. Löst 8 große Rätsel ohne Items, indem ihr jeden Winkel durchsucht, ergänzt um klassische Aktionen. Die über 16.000 Wörter umfassende, gesprochene Story entfaltet sich in rund 10 Stunden - ideal für Casual-Adventure-Fans, die narrative Tiefe und Entdeckungen schätzen.
"When you die, you normally have only one simple wish - to return and tell them - "Hey, guys - it's OK! No need to feel sad! Cause you know what? It's actually OK on both sides, really." But returning is not easy - the only way would be dreams - "half-dreams" - "ghost-dreams". The problematic part is if you get stuck - you turn into a demon. Hard to say what exactly it is, but we presume it's a painful and useless existence. Better to avoid doing this, really.
My personal "problematic part" is that I am already stuck here. No idea how I'll get out this time..."
On his journey to the "Other Side" Reader (and his "natural companion" Writer) meets various Ghosts and Demons, Holy Spirits and Gods. He also meets Singer, who is neither Ghost, nor Demon. At some point she becomes important to Reader. Realizing this won't stop him though.
The world of Ghostdream should be scary, but it is not - it is just dark. The story should be sad since all the characters are more or less dead, but it is not, because they normally remember nothing, except some minor detail or two (for example the protagonist remembers himself reading a book - this is why they call him Reader. It is his only memory after all).
