Geist Heist

In Geist Heist, there is a new museum exhibit that contains your stuff! Our team is working to make a stealth puzzle game where you must sneak around with your ghostly powers to collect your “tethers” (your worldly possessions)! As a ghost, you’re not very strong, so you’re going to have to possess anything from vases to vending machines to toy cars and use their abilities to sneak around the museum and dodge guards. You'll store your objects in a hidden room in the lobby's globe. We're striving to lean into comedic and whimsical moments, so once you have all your objects, you can possess the globe and roll your objects out of the museum forever. 

This is a Bradley University game design capstone project that will be in development until May 2026. It's currently in it's Beta state.
