The story in this VR puzzle game is widely praised for its engaging, atmospheric, and well-acted supernatural detective narrative, offering a cohesive and emotionally resonant experience centered on a medium searching for her missing brother. While the storytelling is a significant step up from previous related titles and creates a rich world with intriguing characters, many find the puzzles relatively simple, the gameplay lighter, and the story somewhat short or feeling incomplete, leaving players eager for a sequel to continue the plot. Overall, the game's strong narrative and production values make it a standout story-driven VR experience, despite critiques of pacing and limited interactivity.
“The story and scenario are quite special - set in early 1980s England, supernatural phenomena and supernaturally gifted people are integrated into society (of course the British government has a department for them as well) and very much real, but so is the cold war.”
“From its sharp writing and expertly crafted puzzles to its deeply atmospheric setting and heartfelt narrative, Ghost Town is more than just a supernatural detective story. It strikes a perfect balance between gameplay and storytelling, giving you agency in a world that feels lived-in, mysterious, and, of course, full of ghosts.”
“Edith Penrose’s personal quest to find her missing brother adds genuine emotional weight, and I appreciated how every challenge ties back into the story.”
“The story also feels incomplete; not in a sequel-bait kind of way, but like they ran out of money and had to cut it short kind of way.”
“The story's a total letdown: no surprises, almost entirely predictable, and repetitive to boot.”
“This game could not have a more drawn out boring story; the characters suck and all have that cringe millennial humor. You spend more time listening to an annoying character yap about nothing than solving a puzzle. Do yourself a favor and play The Room and skip this one.”

From its sharp writing and expertly crafted puzzles to its deeply atmospheric setting and heartfelt narrative, Ghost Town is more than just a supernatural detective story. It strikes a perfect balance between gameplay and storytelling, giving you agency in a world that feels lived-in, mysterious, and, of course, full of ghosts (can’t forget those). Yes, it’s a bit linear and a little short, but those end up standing out as some of its strengths – it knows exactly when to end, and it leaves just enough room for a sequel without feeling incomplete. Few virtual reality games manage to stick the landing quite this well, and Ghost Town stands tall as a memorable and meaningful experience that lingers well beyond the closing credits.
