Four ghost friends are lost in the fog. Build pathways from 3D polyomino pieces to guide them home. Place, rotate, and connect modular pathway pieces to navigate each ghost to their exit. What starts simple quickly evolves with obstacles blocking your path, waypoints requiring connections, teleporters that break the space, and multiple ghosts that need to move in unison. Each puzzle introduces something new. No filler, just problems that will challenge how you think about space and connection. 83 hand-crafted puzzles spread across 7 mechanical zones.

  • Obstacles, waypoints, teleporters, switches, and multi-ghost coordination
  • No timers. No hints. Just logic.

How It Works

Core Mechanic

Players don't control ghosts directly. Instead they rotate and place polyomino pathway pieces onto a grid to construct routes. Ghosts automatically pathfind along connected tiles once a valid path exists.

Progression

Seven mechanical zones introduce new systems: basic pathing → obstacles → waypoints → teleporters → switches/gates → multi-ghost coordination → combined systems.

Pathways & Poltergeists is a spatial puzzle game by Wise Goose Games where players build pathways from 3D polyomino pieces to guide four ghost friends home. You don't control the ghosts directly. Instead, you rotate and place modular pathway pieces onto a grid, and the ghosts automatically follow any valid connected route to their exit. The game features 83 hand-crafted puzzles across 7 mechanical zones, progressively introducing obstacles, waypoints, teleporters, switches, and multi-ghost coordination challenges.
Pathways & Poltergeists has 83 hand-crafted puzzles spread across 7 distinct mechanical zones. Each zone introduces a new gameplay system beginning with basic pathway construction and progressing through obstacles, waypoints, teleporters, switches and gates, multi-ghost coordination, and finally combined systems that bring all mechanics together. There are no filler puzzles; every level is designed around a specific spatial concept.
Pathways & Poltergeists is available on Steam for Windows PC and macOS, on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android. All versions were released on February 27, 2026 and support 16 languages including English, Japanese, Korean, and more.
Pathways & Poltergeists is $9.99 USD on Steam, $9.99 USD on the iOS App Store, and $9.99 USD on Google Play. It is a one-time purchase: there are no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no additional paid content. The full game is included at the base price across all platforms.
No. Pathways & Poltergeists has no ads and no in-app purchases on any platform. It is a premium one-time purchase at $9.99 USD. You get the complete game, all 83 puzzles, with no additional costs, no paywalls, and no interruptions.
Yes. Pathways & Poltergeists works completely offline on all platforms, Steam (Windows and macOS), iOS, and Android. No internet connection is required to play. It is well suited for travel, commutes, or anywhere you don't have reliable connectivity.
No, Pathways & Poltergeists is single-player only. It has no multiplayer, co-op, or online features of any kind. The game is designed as a solo puzzle experience focused on spatial reasoning and logical problem solving at your own pace.
No. Pathways & Poltergeists has no hint system, no timers, and no penalties for taking your time or trying different approaches. Every puzzle is solvable through logic alone. The philosophy is to let players think as long as they need. The satisfaction comes from solving puzzles on your own terms.
Completion time varies depending on puzzle experience, but most players can expect 12 to 20+ hours to complete all 83 puzzles. The later mechanical zones, particularly multi-ghost coordination and combined systems, are significantly more demanding and may take considerably longer for players who prefer to work through puzzles without external help.
Pathways & Poltergeists has a cozy, approachable visual style and is easy to pick up. There are no timers, no penalties, and no pressure. However, the puzzle design is genuinely challenging and gets harder as you progress. It is a good fit for players who enjoy a calm atmosphere paired with real difficulty, but players looking for a completely relaxing, low-challenge experience may find the later zones frustrating.
A spatial puzzle game is one where the core challenge involves reasoning about space, shape, and physical relationships rather than language, math, or pattern recognition. Players must mentally rotate, fit, and connect objects in two or three dimensions. Pathways & Poltergeists is a spatial puzzle game: players arrange 3D polyomino pieces on a grid to form connected pathways, requiring them to think about how shapes interlock and how routes flow across the board.
A polyomino is a flat shape made by connecting unit squares edge-to-edge. Dominoes (2 squares), trominoes (3 squares), tetrominoes (4 squares, as in Tetris), and pentominoes (5 squares) are all polyomino types. In Pathways & Poltergeists, polyomino pieces are rendered in 3D and function as modular pathway segments: I-pieces form straight corridors, L-pieces form 90-degree turns, T-pieces form three-way junctions, and so on. Players rotate and place them to construct routes for ghosts to follow.
Pathways & Poltergeists supports 16 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Arabic, and Thai.
Pathways & Poltergeists was made by Wise Goose Games, a two-person independent game studio, founded in 2025. The studio focuses on thoughtfully designed puzzle experiences that balance accessible aesthetics with genuine mechanical depth.
