Ghost Tower AR is a fun, real-time light-shooter augmented reality mini-game. Try and shoot down pesky ghosts and ghouls. Defeat all foes by bringing down the tower; you reduce the tower’s power with each hit. You can play indoors or outdoors. The best game experience is in an open space (or big room) big enough that it allows you to move around (circle) the tower; it is a 360-degree experience! This game encourages players to play in open spaces, moving around, and providing an opportunity to socialize with neighbors and friends. With augmented reality, you are in the game but it takes place in your natural environment, avoiding issues that trouble VR users, especially young ones. This game is just for fun and provides you with a glimpse of a far more immersive experience we’ll be releasing very soon.

Fighting evil never felt so active. YOUR STORY A demonic revolution is spreading through our world, and God needs you—we all do. Celestial beings have strayed from their paths, and a purifying light is required to bring them back. That light is now within your iPhone, in a sacred union of technology and the supernatural. Embrace this destiny and embark on a pilgrimage that will test the limits of your mental and physical resilience. A divine test from God, or in some twisted way, from the Devil himself.

Use your iPhone's camera to reveal grotesque demons that appear before you, and exorcise them with the piercing light from your device's flashlight. Active movement is key to being a successful demon hunter. You must physically dodge attacks coming your way and aim precisely at the heart of these macabre creatures. Delight in their bursts of celestial light that bring peace to their tormented souls ROGUELIKE Boost your divine power with blessings from the archangels Saint Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who offer hundreds of abilities to choose and combine.
