This is a simple FAQ/walkthrough for the Casper game for the
Playstation. I bought it for my little brother some years ago and recently
saw that there was a bounty issued for it! I decided then and there to create
an alter-ego: Boba Faqq - the FAQ bounty hunter. As I played through the
game I kinda began to like it. It's a clever little puzzle game that becomes
awfully addicting. If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints
please email me at soehlt@union.edu. I will be happy to acknowledge them.

Walkthrough Introduction:
At times during this walkthrough, if you follow it step-by-step, it will
seem like there is no organization to my writing. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Casper
is the type of game where certain doors, rooms, etc. will not open until a
certain time in the game. That is why there are times where you will be zig-
zagging back and forth across the house. Just stick with it and if you are
loking for a certain key or whatever I suggest you use the "Find" option
under the "Edit" menu. It helped me even while I was writing this!!!
Walkthrough:
After the very choppy and short intro movie, the menu screen will
appear. Select "New Game" from the list of options. After another short,
this time still-frame movie, the first act begins.
Act I: Find Tokens of Friendship
You start in the main foyer. Pick up the food in front of you. This
food will act as your health and your morph energy for the rest of the game.

and into the lower right room. Go up a room and get the food. Return to
foyer. Go into the room in the upper left, use the iron key, go right, get

soon enough. Hit switch on wall causing a painting to move. Return to foyer
and go into the upper right room. Pick up the brass key in front of the

will have moved revealing a switch. Hit it and go through the newly opened
door. Pick up the food and the two iron keys. Open the chest but back up
quickly because one of your uncles will pop out. This chest trick will come
in handy a lot during the beginning of the game. In the chest is a piece of
the painting in the foyer. Open the chest in the hall on the way back to the
foyer (using the chest trick) to get a weight. In the foyer, go back to the
