Ghost trick is a very refreshing game! It really felt like a breath of fresh air, yet it came out in 2010. I'm really glad I could discover it thanks to the switch remake.
You can really feel it was made by the man who did the first Ace Attorney trilogy, but it's important to not that Ghost trick has no problem to exist on its own and has something totally new and unique to offer. It's a detective story with a high color cast, an amazing soundtrack (like reallllly amazing), hilarious moments (and by moments I mean most of the time), creative animations that bring lots of life to the characters and give them a lot of charm, a unique gameplay and an engaging story.
This is the story of man, Sissel, who lost all his memories as he woke up as a soul near his dead body. His goal: recover his memories and discover who he is. For that, he only has few tools in his pockets: he can slightly manipulate objects in the real world, reach them through the ghost world, teleport through phone lines and, when interacting with a fresh corpse, go back in time (4 minutes before the person's death) and change the course of time. He only has a single little night to find the truth behind his death with these abilities.
The things he'll discover surely are unpredictable and surprising, but the most interesting aspect of the game is the path taken to find the truth. If you're looking for a sassy detective story with a charming cast, you have your game!
