The art is lovely! I ran into a few bugs (I couldn't get out of the controls screen from the main menu), but I watched the rest of your video playthrough and this is a cool little adventure game.

That was a cute little romp. Honestly would have been nice to get everyone represented in the game, even if it was with just more ghost cameos in the background, but got a good framework going of being or carrying things back and forth to meet everyone and trigger the references. Really good style in the game too, very cohesive, and if you toldme the title card was a commercial bumper for a new Adult Swim-esque show I could believe you.

Haha-- who is this old guy?  Love the art.

A bunch of bugs prevented me from getting very far, but I had a fun messing around and looking at the wonderful art. It looks really great!

Developer

I wasn't too sure what to do but I loved the art and messing around with the possesion mechanics! Great art too!

Developer

haha yeah! I took maybe too much inspiration from classic adventure games. Hint: The old man needs to be freaked out by seeing you possess something and after you do that, you can help Ghost Ben...

Can't seem to run - files missing?

Uhoh. Thanks for the heads up. This is my first time submitting anything on itch.io. I'll try again.

Edit: Alright, I think I've fixed that. Give it another download and it should have everything you need to have as much fun as you possibly can after you die.
