10 Best Reverse-Horror Video Games You've Probably Never Heard Of

6. Ghost Master

Last Year The Nightmare
Strategy First/Sick Puppies

If you've ever asked yourself what it would be like to play a horror version of the sims, then you are in luck, as Ghost Master is essentially just that.

In this game, you are given free rein to terrorise mortals, gather a ghost army and generally cause some spooky shenanigans. As you can probably infer from that description, it's a campy, cheesy and overwhelming amount of fun.

In Ghost Master, you play as a bureaucratic spirit tasked with completing a wide array of requests, such as hauntings that scare humans away from a building, encouraging mortals to believe in the supernatural or even playing a role in revenge plans. You do all of this by solving clever situational puzzles and using your ghost powers to interact with the environment in a way that terrifies your victims.

Ultimately, the game lets you live out your wildish afterlife fantasies as you gain more energy (plasma) from scaring humans, which encourages you to go big to get the puny mortals quivering in their boots.

Despite the macabre set-up, the colourful art style, focus on humour, and clever puzzles make the game a joy to play, and it's a perfect Halloween title to dip your villainous toes into.
