Pathways & Poltergeists

About Pathways & Poltergeists

Pathways & Poltergeists is a cozy-spooky puzzle game about building safe routes for a friendly ghost (and friends) to reach the exit. You’ll place, rotate, and snap classic block shapes to form bridges and pathways—and watch your planned path in motion.

👻 What you do
• Place and rotate block pieces on a clean snap grid to form a continuous path/bridge
• Guide your ghost through waypoints and teleporters, and past switches & gates
• New mechanics introduce things like: one-way tiles, color coded grids, and walls in your route
• Preview the run, spot mistakes, and refine until the path clears the level

🧩 Level design & goals
• Beat the core objective: reach the exit
• Optional challenges: use fewer pieces, shorter paths, or other level goals
• Each chapter introduces new mechanics without overwhelming the core loop

🎮 Controls & flow
• Snappy, readable building with fine-tune nudging and instant undo/redo
• Smart snapping and clear placement rules keep layouts tidy and understandable

🌟 Gentle challenge, friendly vibes
Designed for curious tinkerers and puzzle fans of all ages. Lightly spooky, never scary, solid sounds, playful charm, and bite size levels that feel great to solve.

🕒 Play your way
Perfect for quick sessions or deep optimization. Return to earlier stages to tighten your build, chase optional goals, or move on the moment you’ve had your win.
