Description
About This Game
Ghostlight Manor’s primary gameplay mechanic will have you revealing, managing, and scaring away hordes of monsters using several specialized light beams packed into a ghoul-busting robot called Lightbot.
Explore a haunted countryside as you make your way toward a mysterious mansion at the end of a long and treacherous path. You'll need to use advanced tactics and strategic planning to make your way to the source of the monster invasion!
Story Mode will introduce you to a cast of 8 kinds of troublesome monsters as well as 2 helpful allies and 6 different specialized light beams to help Lightbot and you on your journey. Multiplayer features 7 different stages that pits players against one another to complete their goals first – earning combos or rescuing Cats will send hauntings to opponents which can give you a serious edge! Practice Mode is an endless stage where you can play in “peace” to hone your skills and try out different strategies! Multiplayer is where you will test your skills against other players or various AI opponents to prove yourself a true monster hunting master!

The Seattle Indies Expo (SIX@PAX) jury loved Ghostlight:
“I’ve never played a game with this mechanic before, and I thought it was really fun and unique! The simplicity/complexity ratio is just right – you don’t try to get too fancy but there are also enough elements that can be mixed and matched that the game stays fresh.”
“Lovely design and tons of content, it feels like a love letter to PopCap, and that’s meant in the most complimentary ways.”
“I really like the art for this game. I’m a big fan of the classic Universal monster aesthetic, and the game has a lot of fun with these different types of creatures.”
