I had a lot of fun playing this game and scare people but I had a lot of trouble by downloading and unzip the gae I don't know why but I had to try 4x before it opened. I wish I could've done more than just scare the people.

I really like this concept - who doesn't love trying to scare a bunch of living folks? However, I don't know that I really understood how to make progress - I ended up just following people and pressing space to make them scream. I would have loved being able to manipulate some of the environment to freak them out! The floor plan of the house was also huge, and it was hard to know who was where. Also I would have liked to be able to control the camera, especially when I got into some corners. I think the ghost was super cute, I liked that it was super visible and simultaneously clearly translucent.
