Ghostory is a 2D platformer designed around switching between physical and ghostly forms in order to solve increasingly taxing puzzles. Despite starting off with a curse this is a light-hearted adventure with an engaging plot retro-styled pixel art graphics and a wild menagerie of puns.Ghostory won the Best Student Project prize at Game Access 2016.In human form players can interact with levers pick up keys jump and carry the backpack theyll have to leave behind when incorporeal. In ghost form they can fly and pass through walls. Clever use of both forms is what will allow them to survive and escape the cave unscathed.The game comes packed with dozens of carefully-crafted levels meant to tax your logical and lateral thinking skills and is never afraid to introduce new mechanics and unique puzzles as players venture deeper into the cave. Ghostory despite its simple controls always remains challenging and keeps offering fresh often multi-tier puzzles. Complex occasionally fiendish puzzles. Dozens of unique levels. Smooth animations and quality pixel art. Engagingly deep plot complete with rather silly puns. Atmospheric music to tie in with the detailed environments of each level. Smooth and responsive controls. Important mushrooms.In Ghostory you take on the role of a lone traveler lost in the woods. Drinking water from a weird lake has placed a deadly curse on him but also allowed him to transform into a ghost and fly - at will.Thankfully an old and irritatingly funny lady can help him prepare the required antidote but she will need a very special mushroom for this. A mushroom that only grows in a seemingly safe cave nearby. Surely nothing can go wrong now.
