  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Ghostory" is described as silly and humorous, providing a lighthearted backdrop to the gameplay, though it is not the main attraction. While some players appreciate the moral lessons and the flow of the narrative, others find it less engaging, suggesting that the focus on puzzles overshadows the storyline. Overall, the narrative adds charm but may not captivate all players.

    • “The story is very silly and funny, and the interludes give the game a great sense of flow.”
    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “I really like the art and the story.”
    • “The story isn't the draw in; the puzzling is sort of similar to mazes.”
    • “If this weren't an issue, I think Ghostory wouldn't be so darn underrated.”

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features a unique mechanic that allows players to switch between human and ghost forms, enhancing puzzle-solving elements. While the mechanics are fun and well-executed, some players find the early game tedious due to repetitive tasks, and the introduction of new mechanics later in the game does not significantly elevate the complexity of gameplay. Overall, the game offers a mix of simple yet engaging mechanics that evolve with the increasing challenge of the puzzles.

    • “Thoroughly enjoyable and very surprising gameplay.”
    • “The mechanics are fun, definitely recommend.”
    • “Although the puzzles get progressively more challenging, this is mainly because the caves become bigger, more elaborate, and complicated, but not because the game mechanics, enemies, or platforming items get more advanced.”
    • “About halfway through the game, the 'flies' get introduced (although you can walk through a swarm, your backpack cannot get through swarms of flies) and also the pressure plates make their appearance, but these two are the only new game mechanics that are not already there in the early levels.”
    • “The game has a unique mechanic in that the player can switch between human form (which carries the backpack needed to collect keys and other items) and ghost form (which can fly through walls).”
