About Game:

Spectre is an exploratory narrative platformer, built in Flash with XML. Each memory you uncover reveals a short story segment that you experience through a combination of gameplay, voice and text. As you travel through the timeline of Joseph’s life, the memories you choose will form different patterns, leading you to one of fifty different ending themes. Different stories will highlight different facets of his life and personality, leaving the player with a compelling, if never entirely complete, impression of the man, his place in the world, and what he sees when he stares upward into the endlessly falling snow.
