Perceptions of the Dead
Description official description
Perceptions of the Dead is a collection of three separate ghost stories. They are more interactive novels presented in comic book style than games as throughout each the player has to do little more than click to bring up the next screen. The three stories are:
- Live with Jill Count: in which a young vlogger visits a supposedly haunted hospital on Halloween
- The Phantom Ice Cream Truck: The clue is in the title
- Perceptions of the Dead: Tyrone is hired to investigate a suspected haunting and finds something more
The screens are largely static throughout and the stories are both narrated and told by on-screen text. Depending on how fast the player reads/clicks the average length of each story is about twenty minutes.

The Good
Firstly these are not true games in my opinion, there are some points in each where the player has to select one option or another, such as in Jill Count where they are asked which order the heroine should explorer the hospitals's rooms, but that's not really gameplay. Setting that aside these tales are really well done.
The Bad
I have no complaints or gripes about this game other than, by my definition, it is an interactive novel and not a game
The Bottom Line
It may not be a game in the way I would describe a game but it is a little gem. Try it but don't rush and click your way through it, savour the workmanship as well as the story.
