A 2005 [[First
This game is hardly your stereotypical FPS. While the gameplay never leaves the first-person perspective except for cutscenes, the gameplay varies widely from sequence to sequence. Some areas demand standard shooting and platforming skills, while others take the form of puzzles and resource management.
Line 9:
Not to be confused with [[MD Geist]], which is a [[So Bad
----
Line 25:
* [[Demonic Invaders]]
* [[Escort Mission]]: A bizarre one; you help a friend escape by possessing any and all useful objects in the vicinity, including the escape vehicle. Before that happens there's a more standard escort mission, but fortunately the unarmed Bryson is too weak to run out ahead of you and the enemies don't really focus on him.
* [[Evil
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Anna is an average nurse who only turns into a gun-toting [[Action Girl]] because you are possessing her at the time. After you leave her, she keeps the outfit and weapon, but not the competence.
* [[Gender Bender]]: You possess several women.
Line 36:
* [[Just Eat Him]]: One boss swallows one of your allies whole, but spits him back up later.
* [[Justified Tutorial]]: A computer specifically designed to train new ghosts.
* [[Last
* [[Living Statue]]
* [[The Mind Is a Plaything of The Body]]: Possessing some characters results in subconscious desires and aversions that the player doesn't share.
* [[Mini Game]]: Among other examples, one area can only be passed after a literally riveting action sequence.
** Or one could just [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|kill all the workers in the area]].
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Trying to keep Bryson from being hit by the separation procedure and possibly driven mad, Raimi destroys the machinery that's keeping the rift stable. This does result in Bryson being taken down and sent to the medical wing, but it also means that a huge incorporeal demon can pass through and start making everything worse. Though it can't be solely blamed on Raimi - after the machinery was destroyed, one of the technicians insisted that the rift be closed down lest something escape, but [[The Dragon|Rourke]] orders it forced wide open, and when he gets argued with, he gives the engineer a present from his gun to the head to convince the other engineer to open it.
* [[No Sidepaths No Exploration No Freedom]] : For a game with a fundamental point of scaring people to control random guards, there is only one direction you can ever go in any given situation whatsoever, going back is never an option, as the game will never let you reopen some doors, not that there's a thing to find anyways.
* [[Playing Tennis With the Boss]]: In an odd variant, you possess his missiles and guide them back manually.
Line 48:
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: Gigi.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: Repeatedly, up to and including a space shooter.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Half of a level is spent setting up a situation where you can take advantage of [[The Dragon]]'s fear of dogs.
