That thing you do soundtrack12/28/2023 Everything also runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second, even on Switch, making the memorable Panic Dance that much more hypnotizing. In this remaster, all of the art has been redone or at least upscaled to look its best and it is drop dead gorgeous, especially on an OLED screen with the game’s use of dark and bright colors in the same scene. The art style on the DS was still gorgeous for its time, but obviously that system didn’t have the sheer graphical power or resolutions we do now. It’s an elegant solution, and actually made me forget what the second screen was for. Object names and tricks used to be displayed on the top screen, but here you can simply look at a tasteful UI element that appears when you possess an object. When possessing an object with a Trick, you can exit the Ghost World and press A to perform said trick. Pressing L meanwhile will have you enter the Ghost World, allowing you to move your spirit around with the left stick or touch screen in portable mode. Pressing R (on Switch at least) will allow you to rewind time, either to the start of the four minutes or a checkpoint where Fate changed. Thankfully, you have as many tries as you need to get things right. No one ever said creating a Rube Goldberg Machine was easy, especially not one designed to save a life. These brain teasers are a lot of fun, and can get pretty difficult as you go. To save him, you need to use the fan above to blow some paperwork over to the bottle, knock over a display case to create a seesaw, then use a suit of armor to swing the bottle back over to him. For example, one character dies of a heart attack because he accidentally knocked his medicine bottle away right when he needed it. These can rely on timing and setting up a chain reaction of events. Then you have the more precise puzzle solving sections where you go back to four minutes before someone’s death to change their fate. The more freeform moments where you can explore by visiting areas through the phone lines, talk to souls you’ve saved if any are around, use your “Tricks” on any objects you can possess, and of course advance the main story. Gameplay in Ghost Trick can be divided into two categories. The sheer absurdity of preventing peoples’ deaths by, for example, rolling a doughnut under a couch will occasionally hit you as well. Your partner in crime, Lynne, dies several times over the course of the game, and it never stops being funny how casually she approaches her own death. For a game that deals heavily with death and ghosts, it’s very lighthearted too. Ghost Trick’s story, humor, and gameplay haven’t aged a day over the course of 13 years, and they’re just as sharp as ever. If I can’t shame you into the greatest purchase of your life, and you still need convincing, then read on. An enhanced remaster of Ghost Trick is now available on all major platforms, so go get it. Thankfully, the game’s director, Shu Takumi, and Capcom have given you the chance to rectify your mistake. Despite quite possibly being the top dog of the DS’s already incredible library, you wouldn’t know that because no one bought it. This 2010 DS title features an amazing, vivid cartoon art style, an incredibly catchy soundtrack, creative puzzle solving, and a gripping story that has you connecting each of the game’s mysteries right up until the final moments. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is one of the best puzzle/visual novel games out there. Thus begins one long, fateful night to discover the secrets of your past, why you were killed, and how this red headed detective fits into everything – all before you disappear come sunrise. Using the power of the dead, you can go back in time to four minutes before her death, and manipulate objects in the environment to stop the would-be-assassin. Despite not knowing who you are or who killed you tonight, there’s one thing you do know: you still have the power to save this woman. Being the gentleman that you are, you would intervene – but there’s one big problem with that, you’re dead. In the dead of night, on the edge of town, a woman is being held at gunpoint in a junkyard.
