Play Monster High - Ghoul Spirit (E) Online

Monster High: Ghoul Spirit came out for the Nintendo DS in 2011, published by THQ. It was one of those licensed games that felt very much of its time, aimed squarely at fans of the dolls and cartoons, and it fit right in with the handheld's library of casual, stylus-heavy titles.

You play as a new student at Monster High, customizing your own ghoul and exploring the school to solve a series of light mysteries. The gameplay is a mix of screen by screen exploration, talking to other characters to gather clues, and engaging in rhythm based minigames that use the touch screen for tasks like mixing potions or playing instruments. You also collect accessories and change outfits for different events. The pace is relaxed, the difficulty is low, and it feels like poking around a colorful, slightly silly world where everything is just a little bit off.
