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.
