Umbra's Ghost
A downloadable game for Windows
Description
A short, atmospheric puzzle game inspired by late-90s first person point-and-clicks like Myst. Created for the Secret Santa Game Jam 2021!
Story
You're a pirate boarding a long-forgotten ship in search of treasure. Tales of this vessel reach far and wide- some say it's cursed, haunted by the ghost of Captain Umbra. But you're too brave for fairy-tales. Best of luck to you... Who knows, maybe you'll walk away rich. Or maybe another ghost will join that cursed captain.

I love puzzles. This game did surprise me with it! Good Job!
Thank you for playing, glad to hear you were surprised!
Fun spooky game. That map puzzle was great.
Thank you so much, I really enjoyed your video! This is the first time I've watched a stranger play something I made, it was very exciting! I'm glad to hear you liked the map puzzle, that one took a good while to make and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to gameplay. (Also don't mind how there is electricity on the boat, it's magic XD)
This was a really fun and short horror-puzzle game that I really enjoyed. The puzzles were quite good and it really made me think alot about how to solve each puzzle. I liked the sound effects that were added whenever a puzzle is completed or started as it really helps with the horror atmosphere of the game. The last event of the game where the main player has to grab the key without dying from the skeleton, was quite scary as I was really stressed when I saw the skeleton moving closer to me, everytime I look away from it. It would be cool if there were more puzzles added and an ending animation when completing the game to give the player a greater sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
Thank you for playing! The speed at which you solved each puzzle is astonishing, you're very good at this! I'm also so glad to hear you liked the skeleton, I'm a big Doctor Who fan so a Weeping Angel-inspired finale seemed fitting. Keep up the videos!
Thanks for the support and compliments XD. Hope you can achieve what you set out to achieve!
Thanks, I hope the same for you!
