A minor nuisance that prompts the game's tutorial because, it's not much fun being a ghost without at least a few powers to play with? If an outer door is closed, access is barred. Although walking through objects and people on the street quickly becomes second nature, gaining access to buildings previously sanctified - a reflection on the tumultuous history of 17th century Salem - is substantially more restrictive. However, initial exhilaration turns to isolation when boundaries are established and the rules of the dead are set into place. In his new form, Ronan is unseen and unheard by those that surround him. Until resolved, he is chained to the world of the living, unable to find peace with his loved ones in the afterlife. It's no spoiler that players assume the role of Ronan O'Connor's ethereal character, tasked with discovering the mystery of Salem's serial killer and his own personal murderer. Where some may think this represents the game's explosive conslusion, it is in fact the opening moments of Airtight Games' new IP.
Ronan's pursuit of Salem's infamous serial killer, referred to as the Bell Killer, ends in dramatic fashion and with Detective O'Connor's body left lifeless along the street, riddled with bullet holes. His troubled past is beautifully rendered as tattoos ink across his arms, legs, and back, and his entire body becomes a tableau of storytelling that immediately brings the player up to speed on the thematically-heavy, story-driven game that is about to begin. An inventive cutscene introduces 'Soul Suspect' by presenting the back story of the main playable character - Detective Ronan O'Connor.
