Ghostwire to use DSi camera functionality to its fullest

ghostwire

A Different Game has announced Ghostwire for DSi, which promises to use the handheld’s built-in camera functionality to its fullest.

The Swedish studio’s augmented reality title has players using the camera to scan their surroundings: the game superimposes ghosts over what is presented on the screen.

Originally announced as a mobile game, lead designer Anders Bergman says Ghostwire is a perfect fit for DSi because it “allows us to enhance the integrated real-world experience with the combination of camera, microphone and touch screen.”

Sounds interesting at least. No idea what the gameplay entails yet.

You can find out more over on D’toid and the link posted above.

There’s also a teaser posted below.
