Three spirits searching for answers hide from the inhabitants of a village. But those inhabitants are the worse!

You follow the story of three spirits that are hiding from something, and will have to search for clues and solve mysteries of an ominous village. Each of them has specific skills, and may also have specific objectives. So you can switch character in their hiding place, and decide who will go explore the surroundings to progress in the story!

This is a GameBoy game created in the context of the GB Jam #12 on September 2024. Made with GB Studio.

Characters

Wats, the ghost detective

He can pass through doors (but not walls). He has a connection to spiritual plan, but unable to interact with physical objects.

Because he's a ghost, spirits and demons can see him, but humans cannot. He's hurt by bright light though, as light is not only bound to the physical world.

He plans to solve the mystery of his own murder.

Gina, the kleptomaniac poltergeist

She can know anything about an object by just touching it. She says that because of this, she develops an emotional connection with the things she touches, and that's why she "adopts" them right after.

She's afraid of humans, but able to unlock anything. Don't let her see your favorite mug though, she collects them.

Victor, the retired vampire

As a vampire, he's very strong and powerful... but as an old one, he quickly runs out of strength. It's not difficult to give him power again though, some drops of blood will do.

He can stun or even kill anybody on his path if forced too. But he's usually nice, especially since he has to wear his dentures (these are fragile and expensive!).
