A 2005 First-Person Shooter developed for the Nintendo Gamecube by n-Space and Nintendo, with this being their second ever M rated title they've developed/published. Geist is the story of John Raimi, a scientist hired by a counter-terrorism unit to help them investigate a biochemical corporation. They have good reason to be suspicious. The Volks Corporation has apparently been developing chemical weaponry, according to information gathered by the unit's inside man (and Raimi's mentor). But even this is far from the truth, as one of the soldiers seemingly kills the rest of the team against his will, and Raimi awakens to discover that he is now a ghost, and the only way to survive and discover the truth is to possess others...While the gameplay never leaves the first-person perspective except for cutscenes, the gameplay varies widely from sequence to sequence. Some areas demand standard shooting and platforming skills, while others take the form of puzzles and resource management. A playthrough can be found here. | |

Scenery Censor: The game was given an "M" rating in the US for (among other things) a brief scene containing nudity — but anything objectionable was covered by strategically-placed soap bubbles. | |

| Geist (Video Game) / int_143e6c8d | comment |
Heroic Mime: Mostly played straight. Raimi is almost completely silent throughout, even when possessing humans and trying to convince a friend it's really him. The only they speak is when possessing a dog handler, speaking through their host to gain the dog's trust. | |

| Geist (Video Game) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good Is Not Nice: Raimi is undoubtedly the hero of the story, trying to stop 1, technically 2, world domination plots, but if his smug satisfaction of lethally poisoning some guards is any indication, he is rather enjoying killing the Volks' staff and guards. | |

Bedsheet Ghost: This strategy actually works on someone, scaring her enough to allow you to possess her. It's a bit scarier than usual, although the accountant literally sees the sheet rise up off the bed. Raimi-as-a-bedsheet-ghost has an empty dark hood and dives after her, after all. | |

Replay Mode: The game allows the player to replay the chapters of the game after its completion. And since those chapters are already complete, the game will only save any items and lore entries gathered when they're replayed; so if there's a previously-missed item or lore entry that can only be accessed near the end of the selected chapter, the player must advance up to that point before turning the game off to get it. | |

Easter Egg: Part of the Medical level takes place in a women's locker room. Inside one of the lockers is Samus Aran's helmet. Another locker in the same room holds a GameCube console. The lounge area in chapter 5 contains two TVs set up with NES and SNES consoles (though, as Raimi notes, no games for them on the nearby shelves). | |

| Geist (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: Your bullets slow down just like everything else when using Super-Speed, but you can still shoot more bullets in a shorter amount of time while using it. Normally this is just a waist of ammo, as the player should be used to aiming by the time they get access to super speed, but it is valid tactic against the helicopter and Living Statue bosses. | |

Lethal Joke Character Towel girl in multiplayer, who attacks with a wet...towel, in a game with guns and invisible ghosts. That said, her towel is an instant kill if she lands it. The same is true of the chef in multiplayer. His plates move slowly and can be wonky to hit with, but the porcelain he throws is way more lethal than any bullet you can use from another host. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Three bosses in the game are fought more than once each: An unnamed Creature (in chapters 1, 6 and 7), a mercenary called Cord (in chapters 2 and 3), and a shelled crustacean (in chapters 4 and 7). In fact, they're the only bosses faced prior to chapter 8, but they do change tactics in each fight and the respective battlefields also add to the differentiation. | |

Bad Boss: Rourke Seems neglectful enough to have missed out on all the damage you caused throughout the game, according to a few security officers you can talk to. Is stupid enough to try and force the dimensional rift open, despite one of the portal engineers clearing telling him why that is a BAD idea... right before Rouke shot said engineer, forced the other one to open the rift, then was surprised when a massive demon escaped. Also, is terrified of Phantom the dog and will draw his weapon on him and anyone else nearby if approached by him. He even threatens to use poor Phantom for target practice! | |

| Geist (Video Game) / int_3d02661f | comment |
Very High Velocity Rounds: There are enemies whose rounds get faster when they activate Super-Speed, while your own projectiles remain slowed even when you get access to a version of their speed suit. However, these projectiles they shoot are normally slower than bullets, and when they show up with these very high velocity rounds it's to reinforce that the player's only option is to run away. | |

Body Surf | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_411a35bd | comment |
Body Surf: The central concept of the game. In the main campaign, the player takes the role of John Raimi, a scientist separated from his body by an experiment by terrorists. Raimi cannot do anything outside his body, but luckily he can possess and control anything he can frighten from animals to armed guards, and can even possess objects ranging from mop buckets and cans, to Gun Emplacements and Bombs. Unfortunately for you, some of the later enemies in the game can Body Surf you as well. The hijack power up in multiplayer lets you take hosts other ghosts are already "surfing", unless they have the "anti hijack" power up. | |

Remote, Yet Vulnerable: The second-to-last boss in the game (Volks) can be difficult due to this. The best way to defeat him is to leave your body, possess the missiles he fires at you, and pilot them back at him. But you have to be careful, as enemy ghosts are prone to jumping into your body and running into a One-Hit Kill furnace if you aren't there to resist it. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist If the host Raimi is currently possessing has the life meter depleted, and is an expendable host, Raimi's soul simply leaves the body so he can look for another one. But if the deceased host is key for the mission, or no more hosts remain, then it's a definitive Game Over. For obvious reasons, this is averted in death match, where death of your host doesn't just lose you points, the host is still considered yours a few seconds after voluntarily relinquishing possession. So if you're planning on using the ghosts form's advantages to preserve your score, you'll have to plan for it ahead of time. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Rourke seems to suffer from Cynophobianote phobia of dogs, it's foreshadowed in Chapter 3 when the animal trainer of the facility talks with one of her co-workers about how much Rourke seems to dislike dogs (outright planning to use one of them for target practice). Close to the end of the game, Volks holds a meeting behind locked doors and gives specific orders to shoot anyone who comes close who isn't himself or Rourke. The solution is straightforward: possess Rourke. To possess someone, you must first terrify him and Rourke is a hard-as-nails mercenary who doesn't scare. Thus, you undergo a series of short missions for the sole purpose of trigerring his cynophobia. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: John Raimi becomes a ghost after his soul and body are separated. He doesn't get many of the standard ghost powers, apart from possessing people. He can't even walk through most walls (though probably because that would break the game). He also meets another ghost, Gigi, who is the Big Bad's deceased sister. | |

Justified Tutorial: The game never bothers with a how-to-shoot tutorial, but after the main character is separated from his body his spirit is immediately put into a training/brainwashing machine, where he's shown some of the basics of being a ghost - floating around, possessing animals, drinking plant energy. After that the machine is broken by a Creepy Child ghost girl, who shows him how to possess objects, do things with them, and then how to scare humans so they can be possessed. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Trying to keep Bryson from being hit by the separation procedure and possibly driven mad, Raimi destroys the machinery that's keeping the rift stable. This does result in Bryson being taken down and sent to the medical wing, but it also means that a huge incorporeal demon can pass through and start making everything worse. Though it can't be solely blamed on Raimi - after the machinery was destroyed, one of the technicians insisted that the rift be closed down lest something escape, but Rourke orders it forced wide open, and when he gets argued with, he gives the engineer a present from his gun to the head to convince the other engineer to open it. | |

Mini-Boss: Two fights of this type take place during the start of the final chapter, occuring one after another: Raimi has to take down two helicopters which attempt to transport the indoctrinated souls to the United Nations in order to possess all the presidents and ministers in the world so Volks can command them. Raimi can possess one of the anti-air turrets to easily take down the first of them, but then the second will destroy it and proceed to attack his physical body, forcing him to fight it by shooting at it with his equipped machine gun. With both helicopters down, the soul container they were transporting falls down, freeing the corrupted souls which will now try to attack Raimi, one after another. Raimi can only dispatch them by throwing ethereal bombs, as bullets are useless against them. After Raimi defeats them, enemy soldiers start appearing, and the game progresses normally. | |

Let Me Get This Straight...: Happens one chapter after Raimi rescues Bryson (as in the previous one their top priority was to escape). Raimi explains Bryson offscreen what's going on with the Volks corporation (because Raimi is a Heroic Mime in-game), and then Bryson paraphrases what he's told to make sure he understands the situation. This is further justified because Raimi had been turned into a ghost and was possessing a female nurse. They might have thought that going right to the next action scene was too jarring, but they couldn't show Raimi talking. | |

Rolling Attack: The boss of chapter four can roll up to regenerate its health and to roll over you. Luckily there is a hole in its shell, unluckily your bullets won't do anything even if it is shot there, you need to use grenades and time your throws carefully.(You can shoot its face when exposed but it will be shooting at you too when it is and will likely regenerate faster than you can do damage that way). The second time you fight it, it is always rolling, but it hasn't fully recovered from the first fight and you have the prototype weapons, which make a mockery of its Improvised Armor. | |

Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_a3e24415 | comment |
Videogame Flamethrowers Suck: As usual it has a good damage output but a pathetic range. It does have a longer range secondary fire, that is shared with two other weapons found in the same area. Better than most video game flamethrowers but still much worse than a real one. | |

Modesty Towel: After the "Censor Suds" situation, the girl Raimi scares will leave the shower and cover herself in a towel. After scaring her further, you can possess her. While you can leave the locker room, you cannot progress until she gets dressed as there are guards everywhere and, as one would reasonably expect from a mostly naked woman in the presence of strangers, she has an aversion to approaching the male guards without clothes. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Raimi is a Heroic Mime, but descriptions of his surroundings, archived here, reveal that he makes some snide observations. "This is where all of the important faxes come to the morgue", "This [gurney in a morgue] must have been difficult to get down the stairs. At least the passengers don't mind the bumpy ride", "Thanks for the pants" [to a dead guard whose pants he stole] are the most notable. | |

Black Helicopter: No aliens or (conventional) terrorists are involved, but the Volks Corporation drew the attention of the US Government due to reports suggesting what seems to be paranormal activity, so a group of high-ranked soldiers (among them the protagonist John Raimi) arrives the corporation's building via black helicopters to storm it and investigate. They learn the hard way that, yes, there is paranormal activity inside. | |

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_b426973b | comment |
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Possessing some characters results in subconscious desires and aversions that the player doesn't share. Some examples include the technician who cannot approach the machine, requiring you to move the part you need to him. Or Anna, who cannot approach the guards until she gets dressed. An inverse of this is the rats, who actively pull towards the mouse traps because of the cheese, requiring Raimi to quickly pull them away in order to avoid killing them and reaching his target. | |

First-Person Ghost: Zigzagged. Perhaps because of the obvious pun, single player only partially uses the trope by containing a full model of your current form in the corner, to give you an idea of what your actions look like to anyone who may see you. You still cannot see your feet, tho any action (such as pressing a button, turning a valve, etc) allow you to see your hand as your character interacts with the object. | |

But descriptions have him looking at control panels and thinking "Hmm... looks complicated", and finding equations incomprehensible, showing that the mix of science and the occult that Volks is working on is well beyond his fields of study. | |

Strapped to an Operating Table: Happens a few times in the game. First, Raimi is strapped up in a gigantic, vaguely telescope-like thing to be separated from his body. Later this happens to his friend Bryson, and when that is interrupted Bryson is strapped down and left to die. There are also a few others who failed separation and got strapped and straight-jacketed down. | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd | comment |
Cutscene Incompetence: The guards are easily killed by the imps in cutscenes. No, these imps are not Immune to Bullets, and no, they aren't remotely strong. They're by far the weakest enemies in the game, and have about as much HP as your typical Goddamned Bats, except without the numerical superiority. They are killed by one bullet from any gun. They can be killed with a fucking fire extinguisher, for crying out loud! And yet, in the cutscenes, when guards are confronted by them, you'd think they were Nigh Invulnerable minibosses. In fact, the fire extinguisher doesn't do any damage, it just has the game check if the target has less than 1 HP (this is why guards don't shoot some of your possessed characters even if you spray them with one, because they're not suffering a health loss). The imps are Zero Hit Point Wonders. | |

Creepy Child: Gigi, mainly as a side affect of being one of the few ghosts who both speaks and can maintain a lasting existence without possessing anything. | |

Capture the Flag | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_f5e4e67c | comment |
Capture the Flag: Two multiplayer modes are "capture the host", where ghosts compete to possess a body and move it to a designated location or ghosts compete to get a body that can make use of Interchangeable Antimatter Keys to open up specific areas. | |

Sarcastic Clapping: About halfway through the game, the Wraith does this, and while possessing your body just to show off. | |

Railroading: Generally if you find an item or person that you can possess, the game is designed so that you have to possess it. Many of the game's puzzles can be solved simply by looking around for what you are allowed to possess. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: Bryson, the only other surviving member of Raimi's unit at the start of the game, is captured by the Volks soldiers, who plan to subject him to the same separation procedure that was used on Raimi. While he gets rescued, he then spends a fair amount of time convalescing and relying on Raimi to keep him alive, is Swallowed Whole by one of the boss creatures, and is shot by the demon possessing Raimi's body while trying to escape the compound via helicopter. He ultimately survives and comes to pick Raimi up during the ending. Seeing how he is a special forces soldier who can very much hold his own under more conventional circumstances, this also makes him a Badass in Distress. | |

Team Pet | |
| Geist (Video Game) / int_fb9e2ffd | comment |
Team Pet: Phantom the dog, who must be possessed for a stealth section early in the game and returns later for a section where his trainer must be possessed to lure him to a specific location with treats. Most of the Volks staff seem quite fond of him, and he gets his own quirky theme song. He's even shown to be in the getaway helicopter during the ending. | |

Evil-Detecting Dog Dogs can tell if you're possessing a soldier, and will bark. This sets off the alarm and causes every soldier nearby to start shooting at you immediately. | |
