To be clear, played this on PS Vita, but for some reason it's not listed in the platforms.
I was kinda expecting more out of it. Thought it would be closer to Ghost Master or Polterguy for Sega Genesis. But this is much more simplistic. You just have a limited number of tools and have to utilize it against different types of characters, some of which are mages that can counter some of your attacks. This is a puzzle game where you have to figure out the correct order of "scares" on every level.
It's pretty fun for what it is, but gets boring quick. It's more like a mobile game to play when you're stuck somewhere far from real gaming platforms and just wanna kill some time.
The graphics and the music are nice, and it has slideshow cutscenes which are kinda boring and skippable.
There's really not much else to say about this game.
