Guest or Ghost

Screening hotel guests

Guest or Ghost is a PC front-desk screening game set in a hotel that takes monsters. You inspect each guest to decide whether they’re a monster or a human hiding behind a monster’s face. Check five clues: their temperature, pulse, scream, blood type and briefcase contents. Then give them a room key or press the red button to send them away.

A busy front desk

You handle the tools, keys, briefcase, chest and platter by hand. While guests wait in line, room service orders pile up on screen. The hotel computer can freeze, fill with pop-ups or die, and you have to hit it or restart it.
