I haven't played this game but I ended up getting physical of it a month or two back. Will get to it after Emio and Miles Edgeworth.

Solve your own murder in this quirky, puzzle-packed mystery classic, now in HD!

BANG! A single bullet rings out in the dark city. But as one life ends, the story is just getting started… Sissel wakes up as a ghost and realises he has lost his memory along with his life. “Who am I? Who killed me? And why?” With only a few hours until sunrise — and oblivion — to uncover these answers, Sissel must solve the mystery of his own murder, starting with the detective who may have witnessed the crime… Using the powers of the dead, you can possess and manipulate objects and even rewind time as you work to solve brainteasing puzzles in a story chock-full of quirky humour and charming characters.

This long-awaited HD remaster of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the classic mystery puzzle game directed by Shu Takumi, creator of the Ace Attorney series, features upgraded visuals and sound. Enjoy new music arrangements by celebrated Great Ace Attorney composer Yasumasa Kitagawa which are fully synchronized with the original music so you can switch between them at any time during gameplay. There's also a new gallery of artwork and music. This is no trick: it’s the ultimate version of this puzzle-solving mystery adventure classic!"

    Des this mean you cannot save your game without a subscription? A paid membership to Nintendo Switch Online is required to use the Save Data Cloud.

    • +5

      That's only the cloud save. Save files are saved to the console by default.

      The subscription is an additional feature to allow your save files to be backed up in the clouds

      It just means your game will be saved locally and you can’t load your saves on another device.

    Brilliant game, especially the ending.

      I guess with your recommendation, I'm going to move this game up my list. Sorry Miles Edgeworth!

      • I think I like Ghost Trick more than Investigations 2, but it's close.

    Good game, I love dog forever ❤️

    Great game when I played it on Nintendo DSi back in the day. I'd love to play on steam deck, bit it's way overpriced on Steam.

    This game is an unrrated gem. The dialogue is hilarious, the mechanics are clever. The music and art style is gorgeous. And the story is beautiful. Highly recommend!

    One of my all-time favourite games.

    Got it way back for the DS release (still have the physical copy), and double-dipped with the original iOS port.

    My recommendation for new players:

    • Don't be in a rush to redo even if you think you made the wrong moves. Letting scenes play out to the end can give you vital hints on making progress.
    • Sometimes the "wrong" solutions are so entertaining that you're practically missing out if you don't see them play out.

      Thanks for the advise! That was really helpful and made me less anxious of failing a puzzle to just see how things play out.

      Just finished the game this morning and oh boy! Pretty sure it's in my top 10 games of all time possibly top 5.

      What I really love about the game (no spoiler):
      - Pacing
      - Story
      - Puzzles (unique and made me feel accomplished when I solve it)
      - No loose ends (I'm surprised everything got wrapped up despite the crazy premise)
      - All characters are so good and full of personality
      - Humour
      - Missile best doggo

    One of my favourite games of all time - it's one of those titles where if you've played it already, you wished you could play it again for the first time.

  • Tomb Raider remastered collection (1-3) is half price too on Switch, and I think most other platforms.

  • I love my DS copy.

    Still waiting for android pricing to go down, I've already tripple dipped…

    I love games that have been getting ported to android.

    Some recent ones:

    Wild Frost
    Balatro
    Cassette Beasts ( Got Delayed, coming soon)
    Kingdom Two Crowns
