A friend in need is a friend indeed, and friendship can come in the most unusual forms. Like in that of a giant ghost. In Ghost Giant, you meet young Louis. He lives in an out-of-the-way part of town, where he tends to the family sunflower farm together with his mother. Life isn’t always that easy though, and Louis is incredibly lonely. That is, until you enter his life. As the player you take on the role of the Ghost Giant. And a giant you are indeed! Use your see-through hands to lift furniture, vehicles and trees. You can even rotate and open entire buildings to reveal the stories going on inside. The picturesque town of Sancourt becomes your own little dollhouse sandbox.

This is a charming VR experience that transports you into a diorama-influenced world full of cut-out surfaces and taped-together buildings. Playing as this 'ghost giant', you help a young Louis with day-to-day tasks as he looks after his sick mother.
The puzzles are well-designed involving lifting mechanics, throws, crank movements, twisting objects and more. I was surprised just how much use the developers got out of the Move controllers. With a stationary setting and a set of puzzles that unlock parts of each level, it brought to mind the best parts of classic point-and-click adventures.
Some of the movements were a little finnicky, however, and at times it was very unclear what the puzzle was asking you to do, but nothing too difficult. Often, having real-world knowledge does aid you for example one later-game puzzle requiring you to make apple pie requiring you to know how butter is made, but that's all part of the fun.
It's a smart and homely approach to a VR adventure and I look forward to what the Thunderful Development team do in future.

fun diorama like gameplay where you peak in on these cute anthropomorphic characters and help or harm them in their struggles. Some really awful puzzle design where anything golden can be interacted with but it was hard to see and tell what was golden. Got me completely stuck twice.
A fun, easy puzzle/story-based game with a visual style that makes you feel like you're in the middle of a huge basement art project with landscapes and dollhouses that you can peer into, etc. A really nice VR showcase.
If you want a little children story approach to depression, this is the game for you. Touching story that doesn't overstay it's welcome.
such a beautiful and quaint game that has a lot to say about mental health and the joys to having weird animal neighbours <3 love
Typische "das Leben ist so hart, weil -generisches Problem-"Story, die von allen Seiten gelobt wird, es zum guten Ton gehört, aber ehrlichweise nicht viel passiert.
Da das Spiel nicht mehr als 2 Seiten Dialoge abwirft, muss man sich schon ähnlich wie bei Artgames sehr reinsteigern, damit es nicht völlig egal wirkt.
Die Steuerung zickt immer wieder rum, aber es funktioniert gut genug. Alles in allem ein gutes VR-Spiel
