Ghost Trick

Developer: Capcom

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a clever, character-driven puzzle-adventure for the Nintendo DS that casts you as a recently deceased spirit named Sissel. Using time-rewind mechanics and the ability to possess and animate inanimate objects, you must manipulate environments and people to uncover mysteries and prevent deaths. Levels play like short, self-contained puzzles that reward creative thinking and careful timing; puzzle solutions often require experimenting with object interactions and sequencing. Its comic-noir story, charming animation, and inventive mechanics create a memorable, almost cinematic handheld experience that blends mystery, humor, and tightly designed puzzles—perfect for players who love brain-teasers and narrative surprises.
