Ghost on the Shore is a quiet exploration game that gets progressively more intense as the plot unravels. With a focus on storytelling, players who enjoy supernatural mystery and period drama will find this to be an intriguing journey.
Ghost on the Shore is a short, beautiful experience. Accompanied by nothing more than the voice of Josh in your head, you’ll travel across three islands, piecing together what happened along the way. Every answer you give to Josh’s questions will affect your relationship with him, ultimately affecting the outcome of the whole game. I found myself surprisingly emotional more than once during my experience. Ghost on the Shore is more than just a ghost story; it’s a look into what remains of us after death, both real and metaphysical.
A typical interactive storytelling game that offers some aspect of choice and consequence through dialogue with our ghost companion. Its strong point is the Victorian aesthetic that characterizes the melancholy that resides over the abandoned buildings of the islands that our heroine is marooned at. The main story is somewhat lacking and expected, and the game mostly shines when telling the lesser stories of the other past inhabitants of the islands. Technically although the 3d assets and the art that the player interacts with are highly polished, the outside natural locales are mostly unimpressive.
An emotional story with ghosts brings a short but interesting experience and revelations. It is based primarily on the atmosphere.
It’s an intense experience easily played in a single (or very few) sittings that delivers with an engaging story via fascinating narrative progression. I do feel the overall quality of the game was compromised by the lackluster ending, but the thrill of the promise has enough momentum to carry a player to the end.
Ghost on the Shore is a bland walking simulator that has decent conversations with a ghostly companion. Its vague narrative, unexciting visuals, and typical formula make for a forgettable trip.
