Ghostly Repo: Collateral Recovery
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Sneak into the house and exact your revenge on the pathetic mortal!
A spectre is on the hunt for the mortal that stole a talisman from their abode - you must sneak into a house party with your ghostly abilities and make things right.
Take on the forms of others, apparate to mortals through walls and use your powers to jinx electronics, but do so unseen - or else you may find yourself banished from the building by your prey!
-MAJOR UPDATE New Post Jam Camera System-
A post jam build with a completely revised version of the camera system has been developed. If you want the newest version of this game, download one of the POSTJAM builds.
If you want to play the original submission for the ScreamCity game jam, download one of the JAMBUILD versions.
This is my submission for the April 2019 #ScreamCity game jam that went on from the 12th to the 22nd.
A ghost themed stealth game that takes some inspiration from the classic 2003 game ‘Ghost Master’.
Tip: The game plays better from a birds eye view :).
Controls:
Intract (Blue Highlight) - A / Left Mouse Button
Apparate - B / Q
Dopple - X / E
Push and Pull (Green Highlight) - Right Trigger / Right Mouse Button
Drop Items - Left and Right D-Pad/Z and X
Camera - Left Joystick / Move mouse
Camera zoom - Bumpers / Scrollwheel or - and +
To see interaction range, and button prompt reminders in game, press left Trigger / Tab
For the best experience I recommend playing with an XBox controller.
Note: Options to invert camera inputs, can be found on the controls page.
The time spent was around 75 hours over 10 days. This is my first time attempting cutscenes, voice narration and building a proper narrative into the gameplay.

This was a fun game and I like how we become the monster. While it took me a bit before understanding the controls, it was fun regardless.
Here's my channel for other games I have played http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Thank you very much for playing and linking me the video! It's seeing people play my games like this that lets me know what I need to work on, streamlining the inputs, prompts and camera are things which I am going to be working on before my next release. It's good to know what people find intuitive or not so again thank you very much for the feedback :).
I like the idea of this game but the only thing which I didnt like is the invert mouse camera controlling..It really makes the game difficult....Thanks for this game ;)
Thank you for the video and feedback! Your right, I completely overlooked the inverted camera options, thanks to this I was able to get them implemented before the deadline along with a few other fixes :).
We didn't make this to clear in the game, but it plays easier with a birds eye view that may help you get past the humans.
