## What is 0ghost?

Have you ever imagined your iPhone could become a ghost hunting device? Now the ghosts come into your own room, and you can take their picture to prove it.

0ghost is back. The 2009 ghost hunter returns for today's iPhone and iPad, with its original ghosts, zombies, menus and sounds, and a camera mode: the ghosts appear all around you over the camera view, in augmented reality (AR).

With its unique detector, 0ghost lets you discover the ghosts around you: turn around with your iPhone or iPad to look for them. Beware! When the ghosts find you, they attack and drain your energy.

Fortunately, 0ghost is equipped with powerful ectoplasmic cannons. Fire at the ghosts to destroy them before they destroy you. The cannons are extremely powerful, but they heat up fast, so be careful not to overload them.

Good luck hunting, and be safe.

HOW TO PLAY
Press Start and search for ghosts around you. The ghost detector at the bottom of the screen shows the direction and distance of oncoming ghosts. If they get too close, they attack and drain your energy. Lose all your energy and the game is over! Fire your ectoplasmic cannons with either FIRE button, or tap anywhere on the screen. Blast as many ghosts as you can and compete for the top 10 high scores.

CAMERA MODE AND PHOTOS
• Tap the detector glass at the bottom of the screen to see the ghosts over the camera view. Tap it again to go back to the desert.
• In camera mode, tap the yellow shutter button beside the glass to take a photo of the ghosts. It's saved to your Photos app with the 0ghost logo.
• Tap the small photo that appears to share it in Messages, Mail, AirDrop or any app, or share it later from the Photos app.

FEATURES
• NEW: camera mode (AR), with the ghosts all around you over the camera view
• NEW: photos of the ghosts to save and share
• Look around by turning with your device: the ghosts are all around you
• The original 2009 ghosts, zombies, menus, HUD and sounds, sharpened for today's screens
• A ghost detector, ectoplasmic cannons that overheat, and 12 energy points
• Top 10 high scores saved on your device
• English and French
• No ads, no accounts, no data collected: 0ghost never sends your camera images or photos anywhere

SAFETY
0ghost is a game that requires fast body movements and may cause motion sickness. For your safety, please play in a safe area without any surrounding objects, and in camera mode keep an eye on what's around you.

### 5/5 — Fun Game to play during the season

*2026-10-16*

Fun game to play during Halloween

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the five stars! We brought 0ghost back this fall, and it now has a camera mode: tap the detector glass to find the ghosts right where you are, then save a photo of your catch to show your friends. Happy Halloween, and happy hunting! — The 0cog team

### 2/5 — Omg

*2013-11-10*

When I play all that happens is a white screen but ghosts still come

### 5/5 — Fake

*2012-12-24*

It's fake but fun and if the screen is blank when you start ghosts will pop up on the screen eventually

### 1/5 — Dommage

*2010-09-29*

Ne fonctionne pas sur iPhone 4

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2010-07-22*

I just see a black screen on my iPhone 4

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app! (Deserves NO star)

*2010-03-31*

After they take your money, the app will not load & the entire attempt crashes, resulting in a black screen & then you're back at your collection of apps. Even after the problem was reported, a month later STILL NO attempt to provide a response, a fix, or a refund. Maybe the game would be fun, but for now, it's a rip off!

### 5/5 — Awsome!

*2010-02-20*

I've been waiting for a ghost hunting AR game I can play in my 3g phone. Please add more ghost styles. Maybe different games inside. Love it!

### 5/5 — Lots of fun!

*2009-12-17*

A very fun game that puts where you are as part of the game.  I can easily see this being used to identify a barcoded object in the camera image and superimposing data about the object on the display.  So glad to see that Ivan Sutherland's original concepts in the 1960s are now being realized with modern mobile systems.

### 5/5 — A ne pas rater!

*2009-12-09*

Whoua! j'avais déjà vu des jeux AR mais celui-ci fait partie des meilleurs. Comme ils le disent dans l'écran de chargement, mieux vaut être libre de ses mouvements pour jouer, car vous verrez la WII à coté c'est petit joueur. Un jeu à ne manquer sous aucun pretexte.

### 5/5 — 3D autour de vous

*2009-12-09*

J'aime beaucoup la 3D de cette application. Le jeu est simple mais très bien fait, le laser pour éliminer les fantômes donne vraiment une impression 3D en réalité augmentée. Ca devient un peu plus difficile après 50 fantômes.
