Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Melinda Gordon, the beloved medium from the hit TV series, and help restless spirits resolve their unfinished business. With two intertwined stories, you’ll explore eerie locations, uncover secrets, and guide ghosts to the afterlife while interacting with familiar characters like Jim, Delia, Ned, and Eli.

You play as Eric Fox, a psychic detective who can transmit his consciousness into others to see through their eyes and hear through their ears, uncovering clues no one else can. This innovative twist on the interactive movie lets you explore a dark, branching narrative where every choice can change the outcome. The game features multiple endings and a gritty, horror‑infused story that rewards careful observation. Though its graphics date back to 1995, the atmospheric FMV sequences and unique psychic mechanic still stand out for fans of retro adventure titles.
