G.H.O.S.T. HuntereGames announced an agreement with Aisle 5 games to bring their popular title G.H.O.S.T. Hunters to retail shelves. G.H.O.S.T. Hunters is a hidden object game that combines searching for items with extinguishing ghosts. G.H.O.S.T. Hunters was released earlier this year through digital download, but now it is time to see how it will do on retail shelves. The game did really well as a digital download.

The object of the game is to search clues in Majesty Manor and determine if the Manor is haunted or someone is playing a cruel joke on the people that live there. The player uses a Spectrometer to reveal psychic energy.

“G.H.O.S.T. Hunters combines one of the most popular casual games genre, seek and find, with the extremely hot topic of paranormal investigations,” said eGames Product Manager Greg Zesinger. “Reinforced by its online success and some truly outstanding packaging, G.H.O.S.T. Hunters should scare up plenty of business this fall, just in time for Halloween and the ensuing holiday season.”
