| Ghostlore (Video Game) | comment |
Ghostlore is an Action RPG game developed by Singaporean studio AT-AT Games, described by creator Andrew Teo as an "Eastpunk", heavily inspired by Southeast-Asian folklore and probably the first of it's genre, as well as old-school ARPGs (with Teo citing Titan Quest and Diablo as main influences, visible in aesthetics and gameplay).In an alternate version of Singapore in the 90s, assorted undead and supernatural monsters roams the land after dusk, and it's up to the Ghosthunters to prevent their invasion into the populace. But when the Ghosthunters' leader - simply called the Master Ghosthunter - gets abducted during a hunt, it's up to the Master's apperantice - YOU - to locate him by exploring a series of haunted islands surrounding the Singaporean mainland. | |

Treants: The Hantu Tinggi boss, oddly enough, is depicted as a giant tree-humanoid. It shares a name with a demon from Malaysian myths, but it's mythological counterpart isn't based on plants. | |

Foul Flower: The first boss is a possessed Rafflesia flower who repeatedly release bouncing poisonous spores from its roots at your direction. It's a Stationary Boss that's hardly a challenge to defeat, expectedly. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Ghostlore (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: You hunt the supernatural for a living, and each level simply sees you moving around and destroying enemies until there's nothing left to vanquish. There is a flimsy backstory about some rescue mission that passes off as a plot, but it has barely any relevance to gameplay. | |

Chinese Vampire: Unsurprising given that the game is from Singapore, Jiang-shis appears as recurring enemies. The first type in early levels looks more like contemporary Western zombies, but later stages they'll appear in classic Manchurian-style robes. | |

Creator Provincialism: It's a Singaporean game, so no points for guessing where all the action is set. There's also a number of references to real-life Singaporean locations, like a Merlion statue in the town square (albeit smaller than its real-life counterpart), the streets resembling those in Sentosa Island's colonial period and the Ghosthunter HQ containing a central indoor waterfall similar to the one in Changi Airport. | |
