BERLIN: Finding evidence, reconstructing the crime, finding and convicting the murderer – a tough task. That's especially true for the criminal case of puzzle adventure game "Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective", since you're the murder victim yourself.

Players slip into the role of the ghost Sissel, who awakens at a crime scene and comes across his own corpse. He has no memories of his previous life and how it ended. The only chance to find an answer is a detective who was looking for Sissel when he was still alive.
