Description
Play as Polterguy, a teen who was killed by a defective skateboard that was manufactured by a company owned by the greedy Vito Sardini. Polterguy wants revenge on Vito and sets out to terrorize the Sardini family. Thanks to his supernatural ghost powers, Polterguy can inhabit objects and use them to scare the Sardinis. Objects Polterguy can possess are called Fright ‘ems. Some Fright ‘ems can be set as traps while other have to be manually operated by the player. Scare each family member enough and they will flee the house. Drive all of the Sardinis out of a house and the player will follow them to their next home.
Polterguy has a limited amount of power and will be dragged into the underworld if he runs out of juice. In order to leave the underworld, the player must collect drops of ectoplasm. The going won’t be easy, because evil hands, skulls, bats, and other dangers lurk in the darkness. If Polterguy takes too much damage before he can return to the living world, it’s Game Over.
