The setting of the game takes place in Salem, Massachusetts. That is correct, the same location where the Salem Witch Trials took place. This game makes a connection to the trials, so it has a little historical value to it. Within the spirit world of Salem, you'll meet people from that era. While walking around in the Salem spirit-world, you see the living as well as the dead. In the spirit world, some areas are blockaded by barriers that no spirit can walk through (however, living people can). This cause you to take detours around the town to get to your objective.
While in the spirit world, you'll run into demonic spirits, that you have to sneak past to progress in the story. These creatures are rather annoying because, they appear in pairs (sometimes in large groups), making it rather hard to get past certain areas. These demonic creatures eat at your soul, essentially killing the spirit form of your character.
As a spirit, O'Connor has the ability to posses living people and animals. Which some areas will need you to possess a cat or a person to get passed the demonic creatures. I found that ability to be really cool, and I enjoyed the cat possession - running around in a little kitty cat is just fun!
Graphically, the game looks good. I bought it on Steam, and my computer has a pretty good video card in it. Murdered Soul Suspect ran rather well on max setting on a Radeon HD 7770, frame rate was a little low (30fps). It still worked, all the same. I would recommend this game to anybody who likes stealth, and doesn't mind some repetition. Because I feel like I was always repeating a route to the next objective or doing the same sneak by of the demonic creatures. Which took some fun out of the game, but overall, it did have a good story.
