Reception
In the February–March 1990 edition of Games International, John Harrington commented that "the humour and atmosphere of Scapeghost kept me in good spirits." He concluded by rating the game a below average 6 out of 10, and the graphics a poor 5 out of 10, saying, "Hardened adventurers would probably not find it too challenging."
In Computer and Video Games #97, Keith Campbell thought the storyline was "very original with some highly unusual puzzles based on the supposed characteristics of ghosts." He noted that the high level commands used by Level 9 made the game "a pleasure to play, and free from frustration even if a silly mistake is made." Campbell concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Despite the occasional glitch, I rank Scapeghost as Level 9's most enjoyable adventure."
