Go-Strange-Ghost Range is a web browser interactive fiction game written with Adventuron and is © 2025 by Andrew Schultz. It was an entry in Ectocomp 2025's Le Petite Mort (English) division where it took 9th place.
In this small surreal wordplay game involving homophonic phrases, you were returning some overdue books to the library on Halloween, but somehow you went the wrong way. Now you're in the afterlife and need to chase off a ghost, or as an oaf explains, you need to perform a go-stop-ghost op!
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on First release of the game.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction game. Please make an honest effort to play the game before reading this walkthrough.
