Ghost House uses a side-view perspective across connected rooms in a haunted mansion. The objective is to explore the building, locate keys and other necessary items, defeat or avoid supernatural enemies, and ultimately deal with the vampires hidden inside.

Movement focuses on running, jumping between platforms, entering rooms, and attacking nearby threats. The mansion’s compact structure makes route knowledge important, while hazards such as bats and ghosts punish careless movement. Progress comes from gradually reaching previously inaccessible areas and learning the safest path through the house.

Explore each room carefully before moving on. Check upper platforms and dead ends for keys or other objects, and avoid rushing into enemies from the edge of the screen.

Use jumps deliberately and keep space from hostile creatures whenever possible. Memorizing enemy positions and the route between important rooms is more reliable than attempting to move quickly through the mansion.
