The game "Ghost Trick" recently celebrated its 10th anniversary on June 19, 2020.
Ghost Trick is a "touchable mystery game" released in 2010 by Capcom for the Nintendo DS.
Players take on the role of a ghost who has lost his memory, using the "power of the dead" to possess and manipulate objects, "changing" the deaths and fate of various characters. You must unravel the mystery surrounding the city while you look for your memories.
This game has captivated many people with its innovative game system, attractive characters, visuals, and a capturing story that hooks the player.
In particular, the visual game-system received the Jury's Recommendation Award in the Entertainment Division of the 2010 Japan Media Arts Festival for its innovative approach to mystery games.
Ten years after its release, Ghost Trick is still loved by many people. Many people participated in the 10th anniversary project we planned on "GHOST HOLIC!", a fan account that I, Siodamaly started. A lot of people tweeted to congratulate Ghost Trick's 10th anniversary.
A comment I saw a lot during the celebration was that how the fans wanted more people to play Ghost Trick.
The sad reality is, that Ghost Trick wasn't a big hit when it first launched in 2010. But over the past decade, word of mouth has spread.
However, currently, Ghost Trick has becoming harder and harder to play.
Aside from the fact that the DS version of the game is only available second-hand, the iOS version, which is currently available, has stopped supporting the latest operating system after the last update in 2018.
In particular, the iOS version's lack of support for the latest OS is a major problem. Many issues continue to be left unaddressed despite the fact that there have been multiple reports of bugs that interfere with play in the review section.
In addition, even though the android version was available several years ago, but it became unavailable without any official announcements and there is no news after that.
I personally would like to see a change in the situation surrounding Ghost Trick - to be specific, I've been sending comments to Capcom's official inquiry and request form over several years so they would support the latest iOS and to re-release the android version, but as I mentioned above, there has been no change to date.
...To be honest, I have thought of starting a petition many times in the past. However, I haven't been able to do so due to my personal circumstances and my cowardice.
But now that we've just passed the 10th anniversary, I think it's the perfect time for us to speak up.
The reason why a lonely, timid fan like me decided to step up was all the voices of the players who have come together for the 10th anniversary, telling me that they love Ghost Trick and that they enjoyed playing it.
Thank you very, very much.
Please join in with us.
So more people to enjoy that one-night mystery.
So that we can once again enjoy the adventures of that one night with a fresh mindset.
I request to Capcom that they support the latest iOS for the app and to port the game for other gaming devices.
If you don't feel comfortable signing the petition, you can also send a similar request via the official Capcom form.
We just need a lot of help with getting our "Fate Changed".
Thank you very much for your support.
