Ghost Trick (2011) Part 1: How Are You This Good At Stairs?

Ghost trick was a commercial failure, or at least not enough of a commercial success to make Capcom happy. But I think they knew what they had - that's why they ported it eight times - including two separate Android ports. A large part has got to be that it's a lot weirder and harder to explain than it's more straightforward Pheonix Wright cousin, with strange spatial puzzle elements. Personally, I think they released it too early - if this had come out in 2020, gifs of it would have done numbers. Thankfully, just like our hero in the game, Ghost Trick keeps kicking from beyond the grave. Editor's note: the postpod is a bit gratuitious on this one, but I gotta spread the word of Samurai Cop. In this episode: thanks to everyone who joined us to help pick this game, the 2010s visual novel wave, S rank at climbing stairs, feather fails to explain "there's two police and they walk back and forth" for ten minutes, point and click adventure games, game tip: turn on "fast forward unread dialogue" and then good at tapping the "skip" button and it' just makes things slightly faster, Missile appreciation minute, what if Marge Simpson's head was just like that. ~shoutouts zone~ Game grumps play Pheonix Wright Samurai Cop ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Bandcamp!
