GS Mikami

## Description

Based on the manga/anime series _Ghost Sweeper Mikami_ , the game is presented
as an episode in the series, with all the heroes and villains already
acquainted with each other. The story focuses on the Mikami GS agency, led by
the young, pretty, and charismatic Reiko Mikami. The main protagonist,
however, is Tadao Yokoshima, a young boy who works for Reiko and idolizes her.
Together with their friends, the innocently-looking yet powerful Meiko and the
ghost girl O-Kuni, Tadao must rescue Reiko’s spirit which became entrapped as
a result of a confrontation against a powerful demon.

The game plays mostly as a Japanese-style adventure, with very limited
interaction options; on most screens, only the commands “Look” and “Talk”
appear, and the story advances even if not all the commands are used. Some
scenes feature top-down navigation on a map, with icons representing concrete
locations.

In addition to the adventure gameplay, the game also features card-based
strategic battles, as dictated by the story in the scenario mode, or as the
only gameplay possibility in the free battle mode, which allows the player to
choose a character and compete against a variety of opponents. The card game
has a “rock-paper-scissors” flavor to it, with different attacks winning or
losing against others, but also with additions such as wildcards or the option
to shuffle the deck with a chance of receiving better cards. Attacks during
card battles are displayed as animated sequences.
