One game. One movie. One story. One unforgettable experience.
This is not just an escape room puzzle — it's a cinematic horror mystery you can play.

Ghost Ship Mystery: Prequel is the latest chapter in the acclaimed Ghost Ship Mystery series. Featuring hand-drawn 2D side-scrolling gameplay and third-person character controls, this atmospheric horror adventure takes you back to the day before the ghost ship incident — where the nightmare began.

▸ STORY
Morning light falls on a quiet harbor town. Everything seems peaceful under the warm sun. In the ruins nearby, a wandering boy wakes from a terrible nightmare — drenched in cold sweat, heart pounding. Is it the painful past haunting him, or the unbearable weight of what's to come? A dark figure creeps closer. Friend or foe? The wheels of fate begin to turn, and the path leads inevitably to a weathered fishing boat docked at the pier. Secrets buried for years beneath this old harbor are waiting to be uncovered — by you.
