“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I’m gazing at a distant star. It’s dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.” ― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun.
Did you know there was a Casper movie in 1995? I don’t know. But there’s three games based off of it and they didn’t come out until 1996-97. This one is on the Playstation, Saturn and 3DO.
There are no enemies. Besides some boss fights, the entire game consists of floating around the mansion.
It’s all switch puzzles. Yes, the whole game’s just endless switch puzzles. And key puzzles. Rooms full of locked doors and keys are limited.
It includes only a few cutscenes. Voice clips with still images. And in one of them Casper explains how they died.
The movie is the only piece of Casper media to explain how he died, by the way. The others evade describing how a child died.
There’s only about four cutscenes so it’s impossible to follow the plot of the movie, but naturally they included this one.
Note the illustration used instead of photos from the movie.
It’s full of jump scares.
I don’t think a kid could beat it. It’s full of monotonous corridors and obscure puzzles and you can fuck up so easily due to the limited keys.
And it has one of the most obscure puzzles ever. If you acquire an worthless ability, then go near one very specific chair in the attic and use it, it takes you to an area with some gold coins spelling out 52-2-10. You have to convert this into binary and then go to three lines of switches and flip those that are “1”, but you also have to remove the last number in the first two but you have to add zeroes to the start of the last one. With no hints to this.
Casper: a game about confusion and mortality based off a popular movie. You know, for kids!

Not on brand for this blog but YO I PLAYED THIS GAME AS A CHILD AND IT WAS BAFFLING.
After a couple debauched hours in the living room, we moved to the back bedroom. There, Anya and Mathis bound E spread-eagled to the bed to give her what she deserved…

Oh my gosh please though please

Because I am lowkey the chattiest lay ever:
Pup, during a conversation about dirty talk and sex noises: I’ve always preferred just noise over talking, honestly. I dirty talk because I know you love it.
Me: Aw, really? I mean, we could totally try being quiet. That could be kind of hot.
Pup: Babydoll, no offense, but I don’t think you can have sex without talking.
