Game Introduction: Pathfinder's Recall is an extremely challenging puzzle solving mechanism game. Players need to move their characters to help them safely return home and clear levels. During the operation, the ghost will strictly record the player's movement order. After the record is reset to zero, a ghost will be generated that strictly follows the player's movement order. Players must avoid contact with ghosts, otherwise puzzle solving will fail. Game strategy: Steady and steady: Every action you take will be recorded, and a ghost will replicate your route. Clever evasion: Prevent contact with ghosts, otherwise solving puzzles will fail. Using Ghosts: Strategically guiding ghosts, such as stopping them on buttons to open up pathways for you. Sometimes it is necessary to use some 'extra' steps to adjust its position. Reverse manipulation: In some cases, you need to have the ghost step on a specific button to trigger the mechanism in order to achieve the puzzle solving goal.
