Monster High - Ghoul Spirit on DS is basically like hanging out with Draculaura and the gang—if your hangouts involved solving spooky mysteries and picking out killer outfits between classes. You start off customizing your own ghoul, which is way more fun than it sounds (I spent way too long debating between bat-wing eyeliner or neon green lipstick).

The gameplay’s a mix of point-and-click adventure and light puzzles—nothing too brain-melting, but there’s this one locker combo mini-game that had me stuck for ages. And yeah, the fashion stuff is weirdly addictive? You’ll end up swapping shoes between levels just because you found a pair of spiderweb heels that *obviously* go better with your zombie prom look.

It’s cheesy in that early-2010s way, but if you ever wanted to sneak into a monster school cafeteria or help Frankie win the "Spooktacular Style Showdown," this’ll hit the spot.
