The horror of augmented reality just got real with our latest ghost hunting app. Wandering Souls was created with the philosophy that those that have passed on are all around us, haunting us in the form of ghosts and most are unaware of their presence. Wandering Souls walks a fine line between the living and those in the afterlife. It will scare the hell out of you and leave you asking yourself “is this a game or not”? The game is a very realistic augmented reality game in which the souls(ghost) wander the earth traveling no more than ten miles a day and continue traveling until captured. You will be able to see these souls in the camera on your phone. They will be wandering the entire world traveling through walls, walking on water and coming to your neighborhood. The ghosts can also be tracked and you will be able to see where your ghosts are as well as where other players' ghosts are at any given time. This scary horror game is best played with a friend in the darkness of night.
