Got this game because the 'ghost' mechanic looked interesting in the trailer, but upon playing the game, I find that it isn't that well implemented. The puzzles involving it lack elegance. Apart from that, the mechanic is never really explained in-game, so expect some guesswork and trial and error before figuring it out. Honestly, the ghost mechanic is far from the biggest problem I found with the game. Half the puzzles don't even involve the ghost mechanic.

The only way to save your game is by activating these special save points, but you usually have to go through 4-5 puzzles before reaching one. I quit playing the game after getting stuck at a 'puzzle' which required extremly precise platforming and strict timing.
