Ghost Trick is so beautifully crafted I'm happy to call it art, and you don't zoom-crop the top and bottom of art, or stretch it out or invent new things to go around the edges (except unobtrusive wallpapers, which Ghost Trick has a healthy selection of). It is a shame that Capcom didn't include better aspect ratio support, though. There's no way to take advantage of the extra space of the Steam Deck's 16:10 screen. And bizarrely if you set the resolution down to 640x480, perfect for a CRT, you lose tons of space to pillarboxing and letterboxing instead of the play area filling the whole 4:3 window.
But this is the gaming equivalent of an unmissable crime novel, a gripping mystery where every answer leads to three more questions and connects 10 seemingly unrelated people or places together in a way you'd never imagined. I honestly couldn't stop until I'd seen it through to the end and when I did all I wanted to do was dive back in again, deadline be damned, to pick at every line and poke every object, to see what more I could discover in this treasure of a tale.
