Lazarus Jones, a rookie officer, was called to investigate a report of strange lights at an abandoned school, but the situation quickly escalated into something much more severe. After accidentally releasing hundreds of ghosts from a containment facility, one of which took a fancy to Lazarus’ companion, he is now responsible for traveling to all four corners of the earth to recapture the ghosts. It looks like we’re in for a very long night.
Lazarus begins the game armed with a pistol; nevertheless, bullets are of little help when going up against incorporeal enemies. After some time, he will discover energy weaponry that may drain away a ghost’s energy. After a spirit has been sufficiently weakened, Lazarus’ homing “Ghost Grenade” will be able to catch it. However, not all of the enemies that Lazarus confronts are the undead, and more substantial adversaries can be eliminated in a conventional manner, which is by shooting them until they cease moving. The levels are completed in order, ranging from a flooded swamp to a sunken battleship to an abandoned prison island. Sometimes Lazarus will be helped on his journey by a ghost named Astral, who cannot speak but can travel to places Lazarus cannot and unlock doors for him. However, she must exercise extreme caution because she does not possess any means of offense or defense.
