About Ghostly Matter

Professor Penderghast, the world's leading expert in the capture of ghosts and other supernatural creatures, receives a desperate cry for help over the radio: it's Melvil, his old friend and colleague.
All clues lead to the mysterious Blackwood mansion: an estate located in a remote area of northern Scotland, which is said to be afflicted by a terrible curse. Guide the professor through the darkness and solve the mystery of the haunted house as you try to find out what happened to your missing friend. Solving puzzles, exploring, collecting items and uncovering a mystery form the basis of the game; but there will be no shortage of deadly weapons and explosions, disgusting enemies popping up everywhere and frenetic action.
The first game from the Small Bros studio and developed by single person, Ghostly Matter is a typical metroidvania where mechanics borrowed from graphic adventures combine for an exciting genre crossover.
  • Fully explorable open world map: over 600 rooms with more than 20 evocative, detail-rich settings
  • 40+ enemies divided into 3 categories
  • 10 bosses
  • 14 power-ups that will help you in your adventure, some inspired by the world of ghost hunters
  • 6 weapons with different behaviours depending on the class of the enemy
  • More than 100 collectible items
  • Use the "polterscope" visor to see ghosts and other hidden items
  • Fully customisable CRT filter: decide the blur, curved screen, desaturation and glitch effects
  • Dozens of references to the pop culture of the 80s
  • Platforming and action combine with graphic adventure mechanics
  • Lots of puzzles to solve
  • Discover the story little by little by finding clues and talking to NPCs

Got head stuck in a wall and cant progress. Playtesting matters. its sad because this game seems fun. Another time maybe i´ll restart the game but it should not be necessary. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3251700609

You're gonna hate it at first, especially due to the key configuration that is not comfortable and, what's worse, cannot be customize. But if you somehow manage to get used to it, you will have a wonderful metroidvania that will keep your attention and curiosity on a high level. Plus I loved the old style graphic and the countless references to horror classics. Ghostly Matter has its faults but at the end of the day it's worth more than one try.

Love the retro graphics, i enjoyed playing it, though in some moments it really testerd my patience, lol. It got me hooked up though. A real nice game to play.
Not recommended Jul 1, 2025
Looks nice, but there's things which just don't make sense for a gamer. You find treasure chests or at least chests (As you can never open them, don't know what's inside really) what to do with them? Levels are not greatly fun and don't care for the story. The gun sound is extremely annoying. It's not like a PEW it's more like a dog barking outside in the neighbours garden.
Not recommended Feb 23, 2022
I really liked the idea of this game but the awful controls and game breaking bugs are just too much of a deal breaker. The devs advice for getting past bugs (which make the game impossible to progress) doesn't work and apparently they can't fix anything at this point, so it is a waste of time and money. Hard pass on this one.
