Casper is a 3D platforming game for the Sega Saturn based on the film of the same name. Players control Casper, a friendly ghost seeking friendship while attempting to assist Dr. James Harvey in thwarting the plans of Carrigan Crittenden, who seeks hidden treasure in Whipstaff Manor. The game features puzzle-solving elements, with Casper able to transform and manipulate objects while navigating challenges posed by his mischievous uncles.
Based on the Casper film, the game pits you in the role of the friendly ghost trying to make a friend and a second chance at life instead of scaring everyone away.
The plot centers around the `spoiled, grasping inheritor of Whipstaff Manor` - Carrigan Crittenden. She's after the treasure she thinks is hidden in the walls. Casper will need the help of Dr James Harvey - therapist to the dead - if he has any hope of succeeding in his adventures.
Casper will also have to deal with his uncles - Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso, who just love to scare `Fleshies` and thwart Casper's efforts. The gameplay is 3d - and is mostly puzzle solving, with Casper able to take a variety of forms and manipulating objects.
