The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 1
|
I think our house is haunted Last night I heard ghostly moans and shrieks, and I saw a strange figure draped in chains.
|
|
That was me wearing a chain of 50 sausage links. The shrieking was me later realizing I'd ear them all.
|
|
As always, there's a perfectly logial althogh distrubing explanation.
|
|
|
Yes. But there were also ghosts.
|
|
What?! Our house really is haunted? We better call in trained professional.
|
|
|
We can't afford that. Let's go see an unlicensed quack.
|
The player receives "The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 1" which is to "Build the Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop". It takes 24 hours and the player receives total 100 and  10 in reward.
|
|
So, you seek the old gypsy’s help because you are troubled by ghosts.
|
|
|
And yet when I ring your doorbell selling herbal supplements, it’s “nobody home, gypsy.”
|
|
|
Please, just tell us why we’re being haunted.
|
|
|
The spirits are angry, and seek justice for wrongs done to them in their Earthly lives. And ghost justice involves possessing people – it’s neat to see!
|
|
|
I’ll tell you how to get rid of them if you buy 10 jars of my house gingko blend.
|
|
|
Nobody home, gypsy.
|
|
|
What if we were to just pop the ghosts. Then we could collect their “ghostly organofluid outflow”, or GOO.
|
|
|
Very smart, little girl. I foretell that in the future you will have trouble finding a date. How did you learn about GOO, anyway?
|
|
|
Google.

The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 2
|
|
Man, I popped ten ghosts and they still keep coming. What is there, a ghost bubble machine somewhere?
|
|
|
We’ll get our friends to help pop ghosts, and make sure they get nice rewards. Maybe some pop-corn! *giggles*
|
|
|
I get it. “Pop” cause you pop them, and “corn” cause that joke’s corny.
|
|
|
What is that? It’s simultaneously cute and terrifying, like my daughter Maggie.
|
|
It’s a Gremlin, a creature so unsafe an American-made car was named after it.
|
|
|
They’re attracted by GOO like a senior citizen is drawn to pureed hamburger.
|
|
|
Hey, do you think if I set this little guy free in the other Springfields it would steal me some of their GOO?
|
|
|
Either that or make their school buses crash.
|
|
|
Worth a try.
|
| Message
|
Release Gremlins in your friends’ towns to earn extra GOO and possibly destroy their school buses.
|
|
| After tapping on Ned Flanders's exclamation mark
|
|
Homer, I hate to be a specter hector, but your ghosts are all over the Flanders homestead.
|
|
And they’re gumming up the Kwik-E-Mart worse than Squishee syrup gums up your intestines.
|
|
|
Their otherworldly shrieks are so laoud I can’t hear my video game, “Ghost Scream III”.
|
| Message
|
Tap on haunted buildings to pop the ghosts inside!
|
| The player receives "The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 2" which is to "Pop Ghosts and Collect their GOO" (x10)".
|
|
The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 3
|
|
Homer, I’m sorry dinner’s late but two poltergeists were playing keep-away with the pork chops.
|
|
|
Then we must take drastic action… and see that annoying gypsy again.
|
| The player receives "The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 3" which is to "Remove Ghosts from Haunted Buildings" (x3)".
