1947. Rain on the windows. Ink on the floor.

Ghost Writer

A haunted typewriter noir investigation prototype.

Ghost Writer is a keyboard-controlled canvas game. Arrow keys move only when the typed line is empty. Letters and spaces type into the haunted typewriter. Enter inspects on an empty line or commits typed words. Escape clears typed text first, then restarts on an empty line. Empty-line F2 toggles Hardboiled Mode. Generated audio uses the on-screen Audio button.
Ribbon 100 percent. Hardboiled Mode off. Witness guarded. No letters typed. Arrow keys move on an empty line. Empty Enter inspects nearby clues. Type REMEMBER and ACCUSE near Eddie, then OPEN the door and type MALLORY VALE.
