Hey, so y& #39;know Ghost Trick? That game from near the end of the DS& #39;s lifespan that I talk about a lot? I figured it would help to maybe explain what exactly it is, why you should care, where to play it, all that stuff. So, here& #39;s a basic rundown of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective!
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was created by Shu Takumi, director of the Ace Attorney. Conceptualized during the development of the series& #39; third title, he began working on this totally new game concept after finishing his work for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.
In Ghost Trick, you play as this guy!
Yeah, he& #39;s a little bit dead, but that& #39;s okay, because he& #39;s currently an amnesiac ghost!
Wait, no, I promise, it& #39;s not all bad--

As a ghost, you can possess objects through the ghost world and use your tricks to manipulate objects to your advantage! In this case, the redhead lady has a little more time to try and make her escape!
Unfortunately, from your current position, this doesn& #39;t work forever.

But that& #39;s fine too! One of your greatest powers is the ability to reach the recently deceased and travel to four minutes before their death, giving you a chance to stop their untimely fate!
So, to put it simply, Ghost Trick is something of an adventure puzzle game in which you navigate the worlds of the living and dead to pursue the truth of your own life and death, meeting and often saving many others along the way.
This is aided by the ability to travel through phone lines. Not super critical to the thread, but the animation for it is super slick.

Speaking of animation, this game& #39;s pre-rendered spritework is a thing of beauty. Super slick, probably some of the best stuff on the DS, and the animations really help the character of this game& #39;s characters shine through!
I didn& #39;t show much of the normal view of the world, so let it be known that the game& #39;s backgrounds are pretty cool. Hopefully being cropped on my phone doesn& #39;t ruin the quality...
Masakazu Sugimori of the Ace Attorney series returns to deliver another set of splendid sounds! For example, this tune from the game& #39;s main puzzle sequences: https://youtube.com/watch?v=8hw63HniDWE">https://youtube.com/watch...
And it& #39;d practically be a crime if I didn& #39;t mention the main theme! https://youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3khsva6E8">https://youtube.com/watch...
the story is good. i don& #39;t have any pictures to convey that, there are a lot of good characters, great writing, fun surprises. makes the game real hard to google, though, so maybe watch out for that
I dunno how much this game goes for on DS, you might have to check some local game shops for that, but of course, those of a certain nature 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ´ââ ď¸" title="Pirate flag" aria-label="Emoji: Pirate flag"> can get the game running on DS, 3DS, PC, maybe even Android! Technology is marvelous!
But! If you have an iPhone, if you have iOS, not only can you buy an official release of the game with higher-resolution visuals, you can also download the first two chapters for free! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ghost-trick-phantom-detective/id489113377">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gh...
