The game mixes side-scrolling movement with room-by-room exploration inside a large house. As a ghost, Polterguy floats through rooms, searches for interactive objects, and triggers haunt events at specific furniture or environmental points. The main goal is to build fear by choosing the right scare at the right time, often while managing limited ghost energy. Progress opens up more haunting combinations and more elaborate reactions from the family.
