House of Thirteen Ghosts
Description
House of Thirteen Ghosts is a 1-player strategy and memory game for the Apple II.
Making your way through a dark mountain road in north Georgia, you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. With nothing but your wits and a dying flashlight, you make your way up the road to seek shelter. In the distance, you discover a dilapidated old house, but as you enter, the door slams shut and locks behind you.
The player controls a purple dot from a top down perspective, with the goal of exiting from a gold door on the right side of the screen. The map contains ghosts, holy water, keys, and pits of instant death. These items are invisible unless the player uses their flashlight, which illuminates the house showing item locations for 1 second. The player has a total of 5 chances to use the flashlight. The house has 13 ghosts which follow the player. Each ghost encounter uses a bottle of holy water, of which the player starts with two. If the player encounters a ghost without holy water, the game is lost. There are a total of 3 locked rooms and 4 keys to locate in order to safely escape to the east.
