Here is just
a quick feature from me today. I found a cute little indie game which I decided
to try out. The game is called “Ghost Party” and is an RPG styled game, and I
found the game randomly on an indie games website.
The game is
about a lonely ghost in a big house and one of the ghost’s favorite hobbies is
to check out the people who live in the house. But murders start happening in
the house, and it is the ghost’s job to find the killer.
At first I
wasn’t really sure what to think about the game as I was just walking, or
rather floating, around in the house and clicking on everyone and everything to
either hear some random stuff or to receive random stuff. But then the first
person died and turned into a ghost, and I realized that I was the one who had
to catch the killer. The game finally made sense to me.
It’s pretty
much a puzzle game. The people or flying bats asks for things and you have to
find them for them to get further into the case and in the end solve it. The
game had a very cute design, and if you read some of the things it says when
you click on furniture, people, etc. then you will see that it is actually a
quite funny game. The ending does seem kind of rushed though which makes me
sad, but it seems like there are three possible endings to get!
Well, if
you don’t think a ghost wearing fanny pack and bats paying the house bills are
awesome, then I’m not so sure if you’re even human. So download the game! It
takes about… 3 seconds to download, and the game is totally free!
Don’t you always feel a bit out of place when you have
just finished a book, movie, game etc? I certainly do. You want to do something
else, but you just can’t seem to start on something completely new.
As I told you last week, I finished playing Bioshock
Infinite (find the post here), and since then I’ve basically tried to find out
everything about the game – obsessions are healthy, you know!
But there is a point, where you just can’t dig up any
more of the good stuff, so I wondered what to do next. I concluded that a new
game wouldn’t do much good for me, so I put my computer on snooze, found my
extra cable for my headphones and then plugged it into my television.
It was PlayStation 2 time! Since I started playing
computer games, my ps2 has been pretty lonely, but it was time to turn it on
once again.
Persona 4: Golden
For the last three days I have been playing the ps2
game: Persona 4 – also called Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4. The game is
published by the Japanese computer and video game developer: Atlus, and it was
released in 2008. The game has been renewed as a “Golden” version, and is sold
as Persona 4: Golden in the stores right now. I don’t own the console for that
though, so I am not able to try it out.
As for the game itself; it’s a nice blend between
simulation, role-playing and strategy, where you go to school, develop your
social links and help people on small quests, and at the same time you find
clues, save your friends and fight evil shadows.
The story circles around a small group of friends
(which grows bigger throughout the game), and each of them has their own
persona – their true selves whom they use to fight against shadows with. They
all live in a small town called Inaba, where murders have been happening, and
it is up to this group to make sure no other person dies. The game has a time
limit of one year, where you have to improve the lives of yourself and your
friends.
Persona 4
In combat you attack the enemy by turn, and when all
team members have had their turn, it is the shadow’s turn to attack. The game
uses the Press Turn System where player and enemy can take advantage of each
other’s weaknesses, and you fight using either physical or magical attacks.
The great thing about the game is that you can’t just
expect to be good in combat just by leveling up. You have to improve your relationships
with your friends to get benefits in battle and to be able to create some
pretty awesome personas.
To be honest I still haven’t finished the game – which
is a fail from my side, but I still love the game very much, and I like the
fact that I can play it and experience many surprises in the story – so yeah, I
don’t know how the game will end yet.
All in all, the game has a great plot, lovely
characters, nice soundtrack (which is included on a CD when you buy the game)
and a great idea for the gameplay!
Persona 4
A little hint of the game:
If you look at a turned off television exactly at
midnight, while it is raining – your soul mate will appear on your screen.
What I have learned throughout all of the years I have
owned the game though, is that it NEVER rains at midnight in real life!
