About the Game
Ghost Buddies first published game and first of my projects to be showcased at a local convention!
The team had 1 level and puzzle designer, 2 sound designers, 1 programmer (with many assisting), and me, the jack of all trades on this project.
In ChromaSpectra, you play as Claire Voyant, a medium, as she guides trapped spirits to the afterlife. Claire has the power to observe hidden objects in Limbo by playing her Mystic Ocarina. She uses this power to help untether the ghosts of this realm.
