Download Scapeghost - DOS game

In Scapeghost (1989), you’re not just dead—you’re also on the clock. As police officer Alan Chance, recently murdered and newly spectral, you’ve got one last case to solve: your own. This text adventure from Level 9 turns the afterlife into a noir investigation, full of moody writing, supernatural logic puzzles, and awkwardly trying to “possess” people for good causes. Think Ghost, but with fewer pottery scenes and more crime-solving. It’s hauntingly clever, and the game’s eerie tone makes every line of text feel like a whisper from the other side.

Scapeghost review

"The puzzles are all nicely done, though with some of them there's a feeling that you've been there before in earlier games like Knight Orc and Gnome Ranger. What a shame Level 9 are bowing out of text 'n' piccies style adventures with this good, but not brilliant game." - Zero Magazine (1989)
