Gameplay

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. Message Event is now open

The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 2

The player receives "The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 2" which is to "Pop Ghosts and Collect their GOO" (x10)". The player receives total 25 and 10 in reward 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 thing? 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.

The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 3

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.

Message Tap on haunted buildings to pop the ghosts inside! The player receives "The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 3" which is to "Remove Ghosts from Haunted Buildings" (x3)".
