Overview
Description

Ghost Master puts you in the role of a spectral overseer, directing a team of ghosts to manipulate objects, possess enemies, and solve intricate puzzles. The game blends horror ambience with dark comedy, offering a unique strategic experience. Set across eerie locations, each level challenges you to use each ghost's unique abilities to outwit opponents and progress the story. With a single‑player focus, the game rewards careful planning and creative problem‑solving.

Scare the evil, greedy Sardinis out of their houses by turning everyday household objects into something scary, funny or just plain gross. Use special spells like Zom-B-Ize and Supr-Scare while managing your limited ectoplasm. Featuring a unique 3/4 view perspective, over 400 frightful items, and a killer dungeon with 12 branching paths, this 1993 EA title blends horror, comedy, and action in a single‑player simulator experience.
