8 itemsAbout the Game
One soul, one human — bound across realms. Her spirit lingers. The truth remains unfinished...
In a haunted city where the dead whisper through neon-lit alleys and forgotten data, you are a Netwalker — a spiritual investigator tethered to both the physical world and a decaying digital ghost realm.
“Ghosts are just unspoken memories. Some stay silent. Others scream through the wires.”
Accompanied by a mysterious female spirit, you’ll uncover the truth behind urban tragedies, investigate cursed locations, and interact with the lost souls trapped between two realms. Equipped with ritual apps, signal-scanning tools, and the forbidden Ether Modem, you’ll cross boundaries no living person should enter.
Search for answers in old Hong Kong motels, tenement stairwells, and abandoned chinese village paths.
Interview the living. Converse with the dead.
Make choices that matter — for both your world and hers.
Themes & Features
🧿 One Human, One Ghost – Build a unique bond with your spirit partner. Your relationship influences how cases unfold — emotionally and spiritually.
📱 Digital Spiritual Tech – Use ghost-hacking tools, cursed "Hearch" apps, and a haunted data modem to scan, reveal, and decode hidden layers of the world.
🏙️ Urban Paranormal Hong Kong – Explore hyper-detailed, immersive locations based on real HK streets and rural alleyways — reimagined through ghost logic.
🧩 Branching Cases & Multiple Endings – Investigate unsolved disappearances, tragic hauntings, and past regrets — then decide what’s worth saving.
Your Journey.....
In Ether @ Net, every ghost story is tied to a living scar — grief, injustice, loneliness, or guilt.
As a Netwalker, you don’t just solve cases — you walk beside them.
Some spirits seek peace. Others want revenge.
And some… just want someone to listen.
"Will you answer their call?"
