APPARITIONS - Hunt ghosts like the pros in this new game from Star
Mountain Studios and TAPS
Star Mountain Studios has teamed up with premiere paranormal
investigators, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, the founders of The Atlantic
Paranormal Society (TAPS), to create a game inspired by the work they do.
The game Apparitions has the player working with the Peter Wren Paranormal
Investigation Agency to examine and document strange happenings at the Red
Reef Inn, an old hotel located in the Florida Keys. New owners have taken
over the inn and have begun to renovate in an attempt to bring it back to
its former glory. Unfortunate for them but fortunate for the
investigators, renovating old structures such as this, with long and
troubled histories, tend to stir up the ghosts of the past. Literally.
The player is given tools familiar to paranormal investigators such as an
EMF detector, digital voice recorder and a thermal camera. Additionally
the player can place up to six remote cameras to try and catch events in
rooms other than the one they are currently investigating. If all else
fails there is Lucy, a sensitive, who can help guide the player towards
possible events in the area. Though that help does come at a cost.
Once the player feels they have gathered enough evidence they submit their
findings to TAPS for their reward and potentially a place on the
Apparitions leader board.
Apparitions is a casual game for PC and Mac. The game is available as a
try before you buy download from
