A most incredible experience

Soul Trapper Ep. 1 exceeded my expectations. As a fan of the adventure genre, but having scant experience with audio adventures, I went in with high hopes having heard good things from gamers with similar tastes as mine. I was not disappointed. What starts out as a routine ghost hunting situation with a "cliche" protagonist with a devil may care attitude and chip on his shoulder turns into a very well rounded story of tragic love, and, in fact, loss of family with supernatural overtones and a bits of good humor to boot.

Mind you, I bought the game at full price and then was dismayed to learn that only hours later the price had been dropped during the limited time sale a while back. But after I played the game I was taken aback at how well written the story was, how well implemented the gameplay inputs were, and how much I looked forward to coming episodes in the series (and I do hope there are more coming - if you are reading this and are on the fence, BUY THIS APP NOW!). I dont even mind having paid full price for the app. Does it have replay value? Not much, as all adventure games are lacking. If youve played recent adventure games like Shenmue, Indigo Prophecy, the Sam & Max series and Phoenix Wright you know that once played these games have little to go back to gameplay wise...but as concerns experience they are second to none. These games are like good books or movies: you dont read or watch them all the time, but you keep them in your collection because they are so enjoyable you know youll read them again at some point. I rank Soul Trapper right along with those adventure game offerings, and IMHO it is one of the must haves on this platform. Looking forward to the next episode.
