10 years later ... Where's the Sequel?!
Just got into this randomly this Saturday morning and wow, I spent my whole day playing. The story really does pull you in. It has the hallmark of those truly classic mystery games from the DS era - a simple mechanic, that get repeated, doubled, layered, and subverted. The plot was really engaging and the characters are complicated, the stakes serious, but it never lacks in goofy moments and silly jokes.

Difficult but extremely engaging and fun
I don’t recall exactly how I came across this game, but I pretty much exclusively play puzzler type games and I must say that this is one of the best ones out there. Yes, it’s a finite game and storyline, which some might balk at due to the price, but it’s still worth it in my opinion. The mechanics and ingenuity of this game are incredible and it really makes your brain work outside of the box in strange and delightful ways. Plus the story is good. It’s hard for a game to tick all the boxes—game play, story, mechanics, etc.—but Ghost Trick meets and surpasses these in extraordinary ways.
If they ever made another game like this, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Would love to actually play the game.
This is a really interesting concept and I like the game play, but the text never ends. It felt like I was mostly just reading a story. The instructions could’ve been explained in half the time and a lot of the needless back and forth ultimately made me delete it. It would be better to cut back on the banter or give a skip option.

One of my favorite games
I bought this game maybe 10 years ago and have re-downloaded and re-played it many times. You start out having died but have no memory of who you are. You have the ability to go back in time and manipulate objects. The storyline is intriguing and keeps you involved till the very end. The gameplay is a lot of fun figuring what object does what and the timing of when to do it. The writing is witty and funny. It's paid to unlock all chapters but definitely worth it. I keep coming back to this game when I forget the details to enjoy it all over again.

A must-own despite one major flaw
Great characters, enthralling story, fun puzzle solving. The port is fantastic. I played it for hours without much hit to my battery level. One of the best games on iOS.
The major flaw is that you can’t share your purchase with family as it has to be done with an in-app purchase. So I need to dish out another $10 to share it. Lame.

In my opinion a hidden gem in capcom’s line up
This game is honestly one of my favorite if not my favorite game of all time. The story line is extremely interesting and well written and characters are extremely memorable and great. The game despite originally being for the DS works incredibly well for a mobile phone game and you will find yourself investing hours into this game if you truly enjoy it. I loved this game so much I finished this 12+ hour adventure in less then a week it was that great! Well worth the 10 dollars. I’m assuming capcom fixed all the bugs as I’ve came across none. My only complaint of this game is 3 things.
1. There’s no sequel
2. You can solve mysteries in one way only making the adventure feel slightly linear however the writers and creators of this game are extremely creative
3. The game is extremely is text heavy wish some voice acting or something could’ve been added to this game.

If you like puzzles and story!
A little background on the games I like: they all have story and a mystery to solve. This is one of the best games ever from the graphics, to the difficult puzzles, to the whole thought and creativity process! 10/10 recommended to all my friends.
Stuck on rewind. (Fixed)
I’ve played it before and it’s a great game, it just gets stuck on the rewind screen every single time I’m in the tutorial. So it’s basically a broken demo at this point.
Edit:
Fixed in recent update, it’s a great game.

Can’t continue on the game, bug stop me.
I finished the game back then, I have a blast of a time, I felt the need to come back again to finish this awesome game, sadly there’s a bug that others have mentioned. Mostly, the bug freezes the “going back in time” animation making this app not updated for the newest phone, I feel that the developers won't come back to update this and fix the problem, so that means that my only option is to buy the 3ds version of the game. So please do me a favor and don't let this version of this game swept under the rug, I want to play this version badly, so please Capcom update this game.

Expected a bit more content.
While it’s a nice port, I’m a little frustrated at how little game we actually get. Sure, you get a couple sections for free, but after that, you have to pay for the rest of the game! Sure, I guess it’s to be expected, but it would be just a little bit better if we got, like, two more chapters.
Game is broken on iOS 14, Wait for update
Ghost Trick is a great game, the puzzles are fun and unique, the plot is interesting and the characters and writing have charm. The only problem is, iOS 14 has broken this game and it is actually unfinishable, I got to chapter 14/18 and it just froze and I could not progress. I bought this game before iOS 14 happened but took my sweet time and I guess that was a mistake because now I cannot experience it to its fullest. Try the first two chapters for free if you want, but do not buy the whole thing for $10 until an update happens, if it ever does

Fantastic game, decent port
The game is fantastic. I’m a pretty avid gamer but rarely commit to iOS ports; however I do not own a DS anymore due to poor eyesight. The game is a satisfying, powerfully captivating narrative full of interesting plot twists, great character development, a stunning OST to accompany you every second of the way, and the unexplainable phenomenon where you just want to keep playing to find out what happens and say “5 more minutes” over and over again until it’s 6 AM and the sun has risen. The port sees some lag/memory issues in the later chapters but not significant enough to detract from the overall experience. A fantastic, memorable game that sticks with you days and weeks after finishing it.

A plot twist no one sees coming. Criminally underrated.
This is my favorite Puzzle-story game, and one of the best games I ever played ever. That says a lot seeing as how I’ve played Half-Life 2, Portal 2, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Bloodborne, and Metal Gear Solid, and much more.
Though this is on the more expensive side for a ported game on the AppStore, the experience justified the price.
Just flat out amazing gameplay, amazing characters, amazing music, amazing story. Just 10/10, simple as that

Love this game but...
I absolutely love this game! I can’t put it down hardly, but my only issue is that there is some kind of glitch when I get to the scene at the Chicken Kitchen. I get to the 4 minutes before death sequence and it just keeps showing the last scene over and over. Really hope this gets fixed soon so I can keep playing :(

This review is a placeholder. I require a response from the admin
Hello, I love this game, but at the first time travel section, my screen got stuck on constant "time travel". It keeps rerunning the animation, so I can't actually play the game after that point. Please help! There's only about fifteen minutes, more or less, of gameplay here, and most of it is talking.

Broken
I’ve been looking for a new game to play and downloaded the tutorial to see if I wanted to buy the full version. I couldn’t even finish the tutorial! I got to the part of rewinding time and saving the woman’s life and the game froze. It just kept showing me the same graphic of a red clock rewinding, over and over again. I tried to reopen the game and I had to go through a bunch of dialogue to get back to where I was and the game still didn’t work. Now after reading other reviews, deleting it and not looking back. Too much dialogue and no way to speed it up, and inconsistent save points. Not worth the time.

CHAPTER 7 Crash
I had the game for a long time and erased all my data to play fresh so I don’t skip a chapter or anything. Got to chapter 7 and during the rewind death part it cuts to a certain part and then it crashes (no video just audio) I don’t want to spoil it. I hope it gets an update. I believe it might have been an iOS update that broke it but I hope it gets fixed. Some visuals like the intro doesn’t even show or the phone line transfer. It does stink but at least I can play it somewhat before it ends.

Great title, but...
I played Ghost Trick all the way through a couple of years ago, and I wanted to return to it. However, when I try to go "back in time" during the prologue, I get stuck on a loading screen. I'm running an iPhone SE with iOS 13.1.3, so I'm not sure if it's my hardware or software, but I miss this game! If there is still a team updating it, please take a look...

A highly underrepresented masterpiece
From the studio that brought Phoenix Wright (confirm before you believe me, that’s second hand knowledge) comes an amazing real-time puzzle game that has a breathtaking story from drama to romance and a whole lot of death. Originally released on the DS, the only thing I have to complain is the slight pause due to how touch screens work (which I’m not faulting them for). I’d recommend this game to anyone and everyone who says they enjoy good story driven games with puzzles!

Blah blah blah and poor save function
Fun game but the amount of dialog makes it a chore to get through it. The puzzle solving scenes are fun, but it takes forever to get to them. What makes it worse is that it is not clear when the game saved last. There have been several times I've stopped in the middle of a scene only to have to slog through the huge chunks of the same dialogue i went through the last time. Super frustrating.
