Sobre esta demonstração

Ghost Hunting Journal is a narrative adventure game. The DEMO covers the first chapter of the game. The story unfolds in the fictional Chinese megacity "Riverrun". The protagonists are an unlikely pair of spirit agents—clashing in personality yet cooperating perfectly, each with unique abilities, dedicated to resolving supernatural mysteries. Players switch between controlling two characters, to experience a ghost-hunting adventure blending heart-pounding scares with comedic banters.

Story Background

Death is not a period, but a semicolon.

When mortals pass, their souls could ascend to heaven for reincarnation. Yet some refuse to do so. They choose to linger in the living’s world, bound by their earthly obsessions.

These wayward are labeled as "Spirit Permanent Resident (SPR)" by heaven's official registry, or colloquially called "Soul Squatters". As Heaven prioritizes massive soul’s recovery and recycling, these unregistered spirits exist in jurisdictional limbo—most fade into obscurity, but a mischievous few hone their spiritual powers to meddle with the living, spawning ghost stories and urban legends.

Thus stands an ancient profession modernized:

Spirit Agent.
