I’m looking for the title of a computer game I bought at Staples a few years ago. I think I may have bought it before Windows 10 came out, making it somewhere around 2010-2015. It was likely either a modern title or a port, since I think it played on my Windows 7 laptop without issues.
In the game, you go through this house, room by room. In each room, there’s a ghost that you need to help so they can “move on”. I think there were 7-9 ghosts total. The first room was to the left when you walked in, and might’ve been a living room or library. In it, you put together the pieces of a monkey idol, and then used the idol to travel back in time to the circumstances surrounding the first ghost’s death. The first ghost died via human sacrifice. I think they were Mayan or Incan. After solving the puzzle in the past, the ghost was able to move on. The ghosts all seemed to follow the same formula, at least as far as I got— solve a puzzle in the present (maybe to make them trust you?), travel back in time to their death, and solve another puzzle, ghost moves on. The second ghost was a ship captain, and I think the third one was a Japanese bride in the basement. The Japanese one had a jump scare when you went to look through the keyhole (a bloodshot eye staring at you). The Japanese one’s current day puzzle involved trimming a bonsai, and the past one involved moving furniture around to match a scene. Upstairs was an ancient Egyptian in the bathroom (with another jump scare I think). I don’t think I got much farther than that. I think you had to get through all the ghosts on the ground floor before you could go upstairs, and there was another ghost that acted as a guide, that may have had a female voice.
