Ghost Master

The good reviews for this game got me curious so I had to try it out. Unfortunately it wasn't as great as most people say. Mainly because of the randomness of the game. Sometimes you can unlock restless spirits without even doing anything. (e.g. the wavemaster needs a person to remove water from the room for him to be freed. Before I even did anything someone went to the room and activated the pumps.) Most people just walk around like idiots without logic whatsoever. Place a ghost, activate power and then watch the run to a random location. It's no fun at all.

This is a fun strategic game that I will always recommend!

You need specific ghost to do very specific task in each map. And some puzzle still require RNG to complete them.

And I don't mean that in terms of fondness; I mean it's truly a special game, a unique design with some very intelligent thought behind it. Check out International Hobo game design consultancy, run by the man who led this design. Ghost Master is a game everyone who enjoys management, psychological simulation, puzzle, or.. Well, games, should play. Marred by some frustrating puzzle elements to make maximum use of the ghosts available in each level, the damage done is at worst minimal, and in no way stopped me absolutely loving this game for weeks, in a time where few can keep me interested for longer than hours =)

Quirky, thoughtfully-made, and unbelievably fun, Ghost Master delivers superbly on a rather unusual premise: Can you scare people away from their abodes? You're given a large arsenal of comically sinister spectres with which to accomplish this goal, and everything from music to the responses of the terrified humans is nicely done. The game feels polished, despite being a relatively unknown product. For GOG prices, this is the bargain of the century.
