Polter Pals

About

Polter Pals puts you in charge of a ghost who must guide living people into traps to free their souls. You manipulate diorama levels filled with deadly hazards while trying to avoid catching your own friends too early. The goal is to stage comically fatal accidents that release spirits without alerting the locals. Once enough ghosts are freed, you unlock new areas and upgrade your ability to cause chaos. It plays like a dark puzzle game where you solve environmental puzzles by forcing specific deaths in creative ways. The social media angle adds a silly layer since you track popularity on LiveBurial as you collect followers in the afterlife. Players often comment on how funny the death animations are compared to serious ghost games. Split Hare Games kept the art style simple but effective with its hand-drawn look and exaggerated physics. Community feedback highlights the satisfaction of pulling off complex chains of accidents that feel earned rather than random. This title fits right in with other indie puzzle games that do not take themselves too seriously while still offering a solid challenge.
