Reviews
- Highly polished VR game with stunning, detailed graphics and atmospheric environments that create immersive spooky vibes without jump scares.
- Engaging story with well-developed characters, excellent voice acting, and a unique setting blending occult themes with 1980s Britain.
- Puzzle design is satisfying and intuitive, offering a good balance of challenge and accessibility, supported by a helpful in-game hint system.
- The game is relatively short, typically taking around 4 to 5 hours to complete, which some players found disappointing for the price point.
- Limited interactivity with the environment and objects outside of story-related items reduces immersion and exploration opportunities.
- Puzzle difficulty is generally on the easier side and fewer in number compared to previous titles by the developer, leading to a somewhat casual experience.
story
279 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is generally praised for its engaging, well-crafted supernatural mystery set in 1980s England, with strong voice acting and atmospheric presentation. However, many find it relatively short, sometimes feeling incomplete or rushed near the end, and less challenging compared to previous Fireproof titles. The narrative takes center stage over complex puzzles, delivering a compelling experience that leaves many players eager for a sequel.
“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 and the world building is amazing, with the setting in early 1980s England where supernatural phenomena and supernaturally gifted people are integrated into society, combined with cold war elements.”
“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.”
“Story feels rushed and the end feels like you just finished the first episode.”

100%Ghost Town [Meta Quest 3]
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.
