A port of the Nintendo DS title Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, a detective game where you solve crimes as a spirit named Sissel, was announced by Capcom during today’s Nintendo Direct.
The port will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. It will also come with higher gameplay quality, adapted for 1080p/60fps visuals; optimitized UI features; three new languages (Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese); new challenges; and fresh music and illustrations.
The game follows Sissel, a brace phantom who’s been unexpectedly stranded in the afterlife and lost his memory. The players helps Sissel solve the mystery behind his death by using his newfound supernatural abilities.
Ghost Trick was originally released in North America in 2011, which IGN had high praise for at the time for its innovation of the point-and-click adventure genre and compared it to the likes of Ace Attorney and The Secret of Monkey Island — high praise indeed.
If you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney games, you might be interested to know that this game was written and directed by Shu Takum, the creator of that series iconic series (he sure does love his murder mysteries).
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective will be available this summer. Checking out everything announced during today’s Nintendo Direct right here.
