Ghost Voyage - Game Chill Writeup

Ghost Voyage is certainly an... Interesting game. Made in Adventure Studio, it sports a ludicrous scribbled graphics style that is oddly humorous, however the star of the show here is the game's cunning dialogue. Well-written and silly, Ghost Voyage tells the tale of Bette and Goncourt, an everyday girl and a relentless hunter who fancies the heroine. The player first takes on the role of Bette who wakes up one day to find a Lion in her house and later playing as Goncourt, who may or may not be an antagonist (more likely than not he was just a misguided and noble fellow...) Being a relatively simple game, Ghost Voyage consists of walking around and talking to various people while collecting items in your inventory to open up new dialogue options that will advance the story. The player needs to do a bit of sleuthing to come to some conclusions, but nothing is not evident; this game can be finished in a relatively short amount of time. Short and sweet, to put it best.

The game was not tested in full-screen, but I can confirm that it works so long as it is not minimized. The music did not seem to play for me however, and I am uncertain as to why that was. The game was enjoyable either way though, and it felt more like reading a book to me in the silent way I ended up experiencing Ghost Voyage, and what an interesting experience it was. The bottom line in all this is that Ghost Voyage is a short game and it's worth the time taken to play through it.

Thanks for the review! The fullscreen disclaimer was mainly thrown in there because someone had problems playing the paul moose game in fullscreen and i had no idea whether it was something in the code which changes when you play it like that or not. It shouldn't really make any difference, I was just covering my ass. I have no idea what happened to the music, though!
