Cooper's girlfriend has been taken by the Ghoulies, and he must navigate the spooky Ghoulhaven Hall to rescue her. Each room presents a new challenge, requiring Cooper to complete tasks such as defeating ghosts and solving puzzles. However, there are rules that must be followed in each room, or the Grim Reaper will appear, putting Cooper's life at risk.
To overcome obstacles, Cooper can collect power-ups like one-hit kills and invisibility, but beware of anti-power-ups that make things harder for him. Items scattered throughout the rooms can also be used to fight off monsters.
