“Soul Trapper is basically an interactive radio drama for the 21st century. It sports a surprisingly great story, phenomenal voice acting and some great touch based mini games. It’s all great stuff and easily the best gaming experience Ive had on my iPod touch so far. My only complaint is that its over too soon. (…) I was still itching for more. Highly recommended. Cant wait to see what Realtime Associates cooks up next.”

There’s a techno-occultist working the dark supernatural streets of Los Angeles and he needs your help. Learn more about the 27 year old Kane Pryce and the mysterious Soul Trap device he wields.

Your imagination is running wild, drumming up images of the man, his supernaturally charged contraption and how he’ll fulfill his mission. As the story unfolds through your headphones, it grabs you and draws you in.

If anything else exists, you’re not aware of it right now. You’re fully engaged, pulled back in time and caught up in the rich voices that are captivating your brain as you listen to the skeptics, nay-sayers and – wait! Is that a ghost or a demon you hear?

There’s a sense of evil in the air and it sends a chill down your spine. You just knew that the reporter is trouble, the church is haunted, that the rich recluse is somehow involved! The drama and intrigue continue to hold you as you progress through the storyline. Kane’s plight stirs your emotions as he experiences danger, mysteries, and yes, love. He can’t go through it alone, though. If you don’t help, the dark ghost forces will roam this realm forever more.

You’re thinking, “What can I do?” The answer is, plenty.

Start by getting comfortable with your earphones on then get ready for a more than three hour interactive audio adventure. Listen intently and follow instructions. It won’t be hard to do; the vintage radio drama format totally captures your interest and when it’s over, you’ll want lots more.

Soul Trapper is a totally unique and amazing gaming experience. You’ve never played this way before. The app is richly produced, seamlessly interwoven with interactivity, navigation and audio puzzles. Memory, stereo perception, audio pattern recognition and mastery of action sequences are all called into play as you help the story progress through chapters. Get it right and you’ll work side by side with Kane Pryce to hunt down, capture and send ghosts to the afterlife, where they belong.

Pros and cons of Soul Trapper: Episode 1 - Ollie Ollie Oxen Free! app for iPhone and iPad

Soul Trapper: Episode 1 - Ollie Ollie Oxen Free! app good for

For the promotion price of $6.99 this is a great deal. With good quality headphones the sound is fantastic. This will be nice to have on my long bus rides to classes. Cant wait for more.

Great way to kill some time!!!!! looking forward to the next Episode or anything else from thhis devloper!!!

This game has the best story of any game Ive played on the iTouch. It totally immerses you in the characters. It has great voice acting and sounds. The only thing that bugged me was the price it should be 5 bucks.

Not bad, like the use of stereo sound for environment movement. Good story and idea, love the concept. Good game but not worth 9.99.

Despite the paranormal storyline, this is a fun and interesting interactive adventure. Instead of viewing the action in video format, you are immersed in an oral narrative story and your imagination is key. Interactive actions put you into the story, and the effect is quite addictive. This game represents a great app concept, and I look forward to seeing the next installments of this story. Hopefully, other stories will be developed as well. Highly recommended.

Some bad moments

Can not wait for more from this developer. Engaging to the end. great voice acting. Could use a few more graphics during chapters though.

First off, I bought this expecting a riveting storyline. I was so hyped about this. Then I expected some super puzzles that would keep me into the game. I ended up wasting $7 and a few hours of my life on this incredibly mediocre storyline. I like different games..... But this is not what you should be after.

I found the game to be very challenging, I have been playing iPhone and iPod touch games since July, (even before with a few iPod games) and this is one of my favorites. If you are looking for a fun way to use your iPhone try this game. My hope is the developer continues to release additonal versions of the game and/or keeps updating this game. This is a great use of the iPhone

Granted the voice acting isnt superb, its still FANTASTIC! The game plays as an audio adventure. For the user who gave this game 2 stars, shame on them for not reading the description and reviews before purchasing. You get exactly what everyone has been saying. There are some improvements that can be made such as more photos in certain parts, but the game itself is definitely worth the money. Im totally immersed in the plotline and it leaves the mind with much to imagine. This game is pretty much all audio and sound effects and you truly feel you are right there with the main character, Kane. There is one image displayed with each chapter (should be more). And there are plenty of puzzles to play along the way. Its more than just moving from one room to the next. There are memory type puzzles and listening puzzles where you need to listen from which way sounds are coming from based on using your headphones. Overall, a great concept and start to a great idea. I cant wait to see how they improve on the concept in future episodes. I hope the creators take all this feedback and implement new ideas for the future. Good job guys and girls.

Need app and one Ill have more fun with, down the road. Would have been slightly bummed though had I paid full price.

I think the idea of choosing the storyline is cool but it doesnt matter in this stupid app cause you can only go one way. I think the story line is amusing but also nothing special. Dont bother spending your cash on this junk, i dont see even see how it got so popular. NOT WORTH IT.
