About the Story

MupP stand über dem Eingang, kurz für Museum der paranormalen Phenomene. Aber tatsächlich ist es einfach ein Schrein, der einem 40 Jahre alten Film huldigt, ohne in Kauf nehmen zu wollen, irgendein Copyright zu verletzen. Welcher Film? Das ist nicht schwer zu erraten…

This is a German Grand Guignol game that is about Ghostbuster’s in everyway except the name.

It’s a simple, lovely tribute game. You’re in a Ghostbuster’s museum with wax statues, but every exhibit is missing an important object. Your goal is to find all the objects and return them to whence they came.

Size-wise it feels like a game that started as Speed-IF but which the author turned into Grand Guignol (I can’t confirm this). The detailed descriptions of the Ghostbuster’s equipment and objects were fun; you can tell the person who wrote this really likes ghostbusters.

There is some sparseness, which is what made me think it might be upgraded speed-IF. At point point it is said we see a distant Universe, but this cannot be examined (as far as I can tell).

The game does have an independent NPC in addition to the mannequins.

Overall, this game gave me fond memories of Ghostbuster’s and was easy to play as a non-native speaker (needing just NIMM, X, GIB, SCHIEBE ___ [direction], and WIRF, as well as directions).
