The Pain of Nextbot
The "Ghost" game falls under the genre known as Gamer's Fantasy or simply *Fantasy Games*. This type involves exploring a world filled with mysterious creatures that are often referred to by their ghostly names. Players typically start in an unfamiliar environment, where they must navigate through various landscapes and solve puzzles. The gameplay revolves around gathering clues about these ghosts' origins while avoiding traps set up for them or the player's enemies (which can be either other players of this game type or a random element). The most common aspect is that all characters are ghostly in appearance; their movements, actions, expressions—everything from how they move to what words and phrases mean—are influenced by these ghosts.
