Back in July, Sony had released a browser-based minigame for us to whittle away the afternoon in preparation for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Well, Sony is at it again, though this time it’s an Augmented Reality-based game with Imprezario’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife ScARe, which is being released for Android and iOS devices on November 19th.
The AR experience puts you in the Jason Reitman-directed film, and you’ve got to defend yourself from an oncoming apocalypse. Interact with characters to acquire hidden clues to some trusty unlicensed nuclear equipment to battle the ghosts. Banding together with newfound friends, you wage a high tech battle against evil to overcome a town’s hidden past and save the day.
And seeing as it’s an AR game, you’ll have to duck and dodge incoming attacks, unless you’re a fan of wiping your screen. You’ll also be solving puzzles to collect and earn nuclear energy cells to power your equipment, though be prepared for a shocking surprise if you make a mistake.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife arrives in theatres on November 19th, and stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd, with appearances from Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver.
