A photo of your room you just took. In the crack of the door, a pale face that wasn't there a moment ago. Ghost Lens is a spirit-photo horror game: ghosts show up in your photos, and you make contact with them. Find out why the ghost is there, then decide whether to free it, lay it to rest, or drive it out. Choose wrong, and it follows you. ■ GHOSTS IN YOUR OWN PHOTOS Shoot with the in-app camera or pick a photo from your gallery. As the picture rises out of the darkroom's red light, something is standing where nothing was before. Zoom in for a closer look. ■ 30 GHOSTS, 30 STORIES The Woman in Mourning White, The Grim Reaper, Gumiho, Jangsanbeom, The Thing at 2:44, The Hands Under the Bed… 30 ghosts from Korean folklore and urban legends, each with a story of its own. Every ghost has its own script. ■ YOUR WORDS DECIDE THE ENDING Answer the ghost by picking a reply. Hidden trust and grudge, and the clues you gather along the way, decide how it ends. Released, Laid to rest, Lingering, Exorcised, Possessed: five endings in all. ■ THE GHOST ASKS FOR THE NEXT PHOTO At the end of each chapter, the ghost asks you for something. "Take a photo of a mirror." "Take a photo of your entryway, with the door in view." Take it, and the story goes on. Stop anytime and pick up where you left off. ■ HOLD ON WITH YOUR OWN HANDS Press and hold your breath, wipe a fogged-up mirror, push a door shut as it creaks open. Fail, and the story takes a different turn. ■ SCARES THAT ACTUALLY LAND Jump scares that hit frame after frame, photos that melt and tear, lights that suddenly cut out, music that changes with the kind of ghost. Play in the dark, with headphones. ■ APPRAISALS AND CASE FILES Every ending gives you an appraisal: your photo, stamped with the ending. Save it and send it to a friend. Every ghost you meet and every ending you see is kept in your Case Files. ■ FREE TO PLAY All ghosts and stories are free. The game shows ads. ■ SPIRIT CIRCLE (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) · No ads · Unlimited: see another ending · summon ghosts · Burn incense 5 times a day (rare ghosts appear more often) · Medium's Eye: choice hints · 6 appraisal styles, hide the watermark Monthly and yearly plans are available.
