Capcom has unleashed some new screens for Ghost Trick Phantom Detective. I have no idea what this game is at all but Nick Chester played it at Captivate and he seemed to like it. I could spend a few minutes actually reading up on this game, but that takes too much effort.

Lucky for me, there's now a flash demo for the game ... in Japanese. It doesn't do much to help me out as I can't read Japanese, but I kind of get it. You're a ghost that can interact with objects and do tricks with them. Or something. I don't know.

What's a videogame?

[Updated to include the new trailer and the flash game after the break!]

What a tease, I really wanna give it a try. Stupid language barriers.

I can read it, but I have no idea what most of it means. =(

Looks freakin' cool, though. If I remember right, this is the spiritual (HA PUN!) successor to Phoenix Wright, right?

@Electrium Well, it's from the very same creators.

Cool. Chu Chu Rocket and Ghost Trick are here to show us that Flash-based games can indeed be awesome. Hopefully they'll release a Flash demo when the US version comes by too!

That was fun. The fact that one can go through this without having to read is a good sign for the game's intuitive gameplay. Of course, I'm still very interested in the story, too. I can't wait for this to come out!

I'm very impressed. The level of animation in the sprites is almost a reward for solving each little sequence. Can't wait.

This looks great. It kind of reminds me of an old point and click adventure, or at least the art style does. The free form style puzzling looks like fun too. It really seems like a fusion of Japanese and American style drawings to me though. I kind of feel like this game is what would happen if Lucasarts or Sierra went Anime style.
