Reviews

“Poltergeist: A Pixelated Horror is as addicting as it is challenging, simple but well crafted, and at the end of the day, an extremely fun, satisfying casual game.”
The Indie Game Magazine (IGM)

“For some challenging puzzle based gameplay with a spooky twist look no further than Poltergeist: A Pixelated Horror.”
8.3/10 – GameRamble

“Poltergeist will likely join my ever-increasing list of Halloween game traditions (Costume Quest, Amnesia). I would recommend you find space for it too. Or don't; that's fine too. It will likely find space for you.”
8/10 – Power Up Gaming

About This Game

Have you ever wondered what it feels to be a ghostly being?

You have always lived happily in your mansion. A mansion that you managed to obtain with a lot of hard work and many personal sacrifices. Naturally you don't want anyone else to take care of it, not even in death! But now, after your demise, many tenants have taken over it, and this is intolerable to you.
Luckily, your love for your manor has granted you powers that will help you get rid of those pesky individuals.

Watch them run and scream, scaring them using your intelligence, wit, and with the use of powers like possessions, spectres, altering objects and more.
Have fun and play with the occult... and become a Poltergeist!

Poltergeist: A Pixelated Horror is a puzzle game for PC/Mac/Linux, in which you are a ghost named Henry B. Knight. You will scare the tenants currently living in your house, so you can have some peace at last in the afterlife.
