Wow! I downloaded it and finished the demo and really impressed. I love the voice actors and sense of humor. Because of this demo I know I shall buy it, that is when I am able to digitally download it online. Thanks for the walkthrough MaG I already had to use it for the demo.

Going to have a go. Nice to play a undead character i guess. Cant die then can we lol.

Update!

Had a go of the demo, its rather nice, but it has some awful cutscene things like the sky cabin when u switch from the control building to the station. Also a few phrases arnt spoken in voice just subtitled which was disapointing. Also it seems your gona be alone alot of the time in the game which im not a great fan of (get enough of that in real life lol).

Its gfx are nice, the voices are good although the boss sounds not so good voice acting wise. The sounds and enviroments are ok, it seems there will be alot of control panel puzzles which im not fond of, the musics nice. Its first person mode which actually isnt too bad considering im not a fan of first person adv games.

So judging purely from what ive experianced in the demo id give it a 7 out of 10 or somit.

going give it a go

Skeeter26: actually there are only 4 machine puzzles in the whole game and you get to meet regulary with 6 NPC's so you are not THAT alone. The subtitled phrases must be a demo problem as I had to separate the demo from the full game and must have missed these. Any examples so I could correct them?

It's a pitty you didn't like the cutscenes. It's obviously a love or hate thing as we sometimes receive even some nice comments about them. I guess majority of players like nowadays the expensive FMV cutscenes and we'll think about it in our next production if we start with bigger than 0 budget.

You dont need expensive fmv, you just need a bit more clear cutscenes, as they were just weirdly telling me what was happening thats all and maybe a slight change of the quick draw type cutscenes. Black and white works as i loved homeworld type cutscenes so the b&w part was ok.

I mean i thought when i first looked at the first one it was gona be cool but i guess i felt them lacking in event telling and with them being stills but transitions. I supose your right about the love or hate thing, its like marmine isnt it lol ppl love it i dont lol. Well you cant win em all so just be proud of what you did. If sales go well thats the main thing then you can always do better ones next time with the extra cash if you get it.

The demo sounds that were missing were if i recall some of the things when u used ur powers on things in the demo but didnt work, i thought initially that you spared some voice over work only for the important events and skiped the non important ones, if its all voiced then ill try spotting them if i get the chance to go on the demo again.

Btw i feel i must ask, why is the sheet preventing you from going through things as i got a message saying a few times (i dont wana get it dirty or i dont want to get ir ripped or something i think when i tryed clicking something on the caged door thing in the demo) i thought he was a spectre so was without substance.

Update 2.

The voice doesnt play for things like "im not able to" for example when using PUSH ability on the ceiling thing where the brick/diary room is in the demo. And other things in the game where you try using the abilitys but are told (not voiced told tho that you cant do it). I mention this as you wanted to know where its not saying the voice overs. Hope this helps.

Skeeter -- I added a spoiler tag for one section of your post, as I think that sequence should come as a surprise for anyone who hasn't started the game yet.

Thanks for the voiceovers feedback. I genuinely forgot that you could fiddle with other skills in demo.

lol ok

I've played the demo and enjoyed it. There's something about it that makes me want to play more. I will order it once my pile of games to play will go down a bit.

I have a question regarding the name of the game. Sorry if this has already been asked.
I read a review (http://www.eblong.com/zarf/gamerev/gitsheet.html) that complained about the pun in the title, and it made me curious of it's origin.

well, I don't actually understand what's so strange about it. The game is about a ghost who has been wrapped into the sheet so he technically IS ghost in the sheet, isn't he? I'd like to hear an opinion of native speakers here.

I didn't see anything odd about calling our hero "Ghost in the Sheet." (Um, with all due respect to the reviewer, Andrew Plotkin, whom I happen to admire, I think calling the ghost "Casper" would have been a really bad idea.) Was there a pun I missed?

When I click on something he just discribes it. How can I make him walk somewhere or do something?

Hi Zach! Post the question in the Hints forum, and the experts there will be able to help you.

There's even a group in there playing this game right now. Join in.

Its not that type of game, all scenes are static i.e you dont walk or move left right up or down you just click things in the room kinda thing.

Ghost in A Sheet to me is the first stereotypical vision of what a ghost looks like when I was a child way back during the Stone Age.

I think the name is Soooo cute...

We all can't see Ghost's...So if you put a ghost in the sheet.. You will be able to see him...<Cute>

MaG: thank you! My language ignorance told me, that Ghost in a Sheet would have been just a ghost wrapped in some sheet while Ghost in the Sheet is a ghost wrapped in THAT terrible, obstructive sheet (this gets a meaning at the very end of the game).

That's a problem of us non-native speakers. I wonder why my proofreader didn't catch this though, I paid quite some money for proofreading.

What a delightful game! It's worth the wait to download it.
thanx for this thread!
