You can’t move but you can turn around in a circle, to view one of usually three or four static angles for each area. The visuals are absolutely delightful and peering around at the little world in all its detail is a wonderful use of VR, especially once you realise you can open up many of the buildings like a doll’s house, in order to peer inside. Soon enough the game’s structure becomes clear, as you move between a series of dioramas that look like sets from a stop motion children’s animation come to life. They also did 3D Metroidvania Fe, but the former two were both clearly influenced by old school point ‘n’ click adventures and so too, in its way, is Ghost Giant.Īlthough initially nervous of ‘you’, Louis soon realises you’re not dangerous and ropes you into helping with the neglected farm and his other troubles. The developer is Zoink!, the Swedish studio behind the excellent Stick It To The Man and its disappointing follow-up Flipping Death. Perfectly family friendly and yet with a hint of darkness that makes the unfolding mystery all the more touching. The storytelling and dialogue in Ghost Giant, written by Swedish novelist Sara Bergmark Elfgren, is excellent.
