A tense, punishing retro platformer where one wrong move means instant death in a dark, machine-filled factory.

What players say
Players strongly split on Ghost in the Machine. Many praise the music and tight controls but also report the dark monochrome visuals and restricted view make obstacles nearly invisible, forcing blind jumps and trial and error. A level editor adds value for some.
