Ghost Master

Ghost Master is a real-time strategy game about managing a house full of ghosts, and the fun comes from setting scares in motion rather than fighting head-on. By our assessment, it stands out for letting the player haunt people with a mix of placement, timing, and chain reactions, which gives it a mischievous rhythm that few games copy well. The downside is the old-school interface and the patience it asks for; it can feel clumsy when you want quick feedback, and the later stages are more about juggling systems than about surprise. In practice it has the feel of a toybox with rules, where each room is another piece to nudge. Compared with straightforward horror games, it is more about control than panic, and that makes it stranger than its title sounds. Ghost Master is best for players who enjoy planning and emergent mess, not for anyone who wants a clean action loop.
