Ghosts of Stockholm's Old Town: A Self-Guided Walking Tour Game
Curious about the ghosts and ghouls wandering the streets of Stockholm? With this self-guided walking tour game you can join Gideon the ghost for a tour of Old Town's most haunted locations.
Gideon will take you to visit a few Old Town spirits, like The White Lady and The Grey Man. In each location you visit, he'll need your assistance with a few tasks to keep the restless ghosts calm.

Gideon will tell you everything he knows about Stockholm's dark history as you stroll through the narrow alleys of Old Town.
