Summary

Being dead is a rather tough gig. Especially if you’re like Sissel, who has been kept in temporary limbo with no memories of who he was and no recollection of how he was killed. Although as a ghost, Sissel has no way of directly contacting anyone, he soon realises that he can manipulate inanimate objects and influence live humans in the process.

Why is this skill handy? Because Sissel can also travel back in time to four minutes before a person is killed to change their fate. It all slots together as a sort of guardian angel role, and the sharply-dressed hero wastes no time in using these skills to protect others.

In each level, you will use the Nintendo DS to survey the scene of the crime, and the touch screen to interact with various objects. Sissel can also talk to fellow ghosts and living people who have been saved by spirits before. You only have a certain degree of movement however, so you have to connect to different objects in order to reach a long-distance target.

As Sissel uses his noodle and rescues many different characters from certain death, he hopes to learn about himself and the events leading to his own killing. He doesn’t have long though, because when the morning sun rises he will fade away forever.
