Ghost Trap

About

Ghost Trap tasks you with hunting supernatural pests using a quirky handheld device. As a paranormal exterminator, you explore haunted locations solving environmental puzzles to trap ghosts. Combat is minimal but satisfying, focusing on timing and positioning. The Game Boy Advance's screen real estate is used cleverly for its era, with colorful visuals and simple but effective sound design. This 2002 Eidos title flew under most radars but has a cult following for its charm. It's a brisk 5-7 hour adventure with optional challenges to extend playtime. Though not widely discussed today, it's remembered as a competent and lighthearted entry in the portable adventure genre. Its straightforward approach makes it easy to pick up and finish in a weekend.
