Autumn is a high time for ghost, isn’t it? In this connection Gaming Hungama/Gamespin company presents us a scaring hidden object game that has you solving a dreadful case.

You start your spooky adventure as a famous reporter and dwells upon gloomy places full of odd sounds, and shady characters. From the very beginning the gameplay astonishes you at its toughness. Though the scenes are color blended, most items are good hidden and on the dim sides. Occasionally, a scene is very dark, making it unfairly difficult to spot dark or black items.

Fortunately, the game is untimed. You get a limited amount of hints, restoring in 4 minutes only. Too many random clicks make the screen gray for a second, and you are unable to click anything until the color returns.

The graphics themselves are ordinary, but motion video scenes polish and smooth its disadvantage. But the music and sound effects, they definitely set up the spooky atmosphere. Anyway, Ghost Town Mysteries – Bodie is worth to play and can make you shivered. So if you are keen on horror and thriller it is for you!
