About the Game

Play as a 'Paratech' in a 1990s cyberpunk city where paranormal activity is on the rise.

Since the launch of the 9G neural network, ghost sightings, strange signals, and unexplained phenomena have surged across the city. Your job is to investigate the evidence, deliver a verdict, and uncover what’s really happening behind it all. Take on cases, earn credits, and manage your income carefully. If you can’t pay your rent, you lose everything.

Investigate Paranormal Cases

  • Inspect images with night vision, thermal, and UV filters

  • Decode EVP audio recordings

  • Interrogate witnesses and suspects

  • Cross-reference intel documents

Decide whether each case is a genuine threat… or an elaborate hoax.

Uncover the Truth Behind 9G

Follow a narrative involving:

  • A programmer’s digital consciousness

  • Corporate cover-ups

  • Government conspiracies

  • Occult forces operating in the shadows

Choose Who to Work For

Build reputation across four factions, unlock contracts and perks:

  • Underground

  • Corporate

  • Government

  • Occult

Run Programs & Mini-Games

  • Ghostrunner: trace signals through network puzzles

  • NodeCrasher: incremental system exploitation

  • Signal Scanner: capture and trade radio signals

Earn credits and gain faction influence through multiple systems.

Manage Spectral Corruption

Interacting with paranormal data and the 9G network causes corruption:

  • Creepy visual glitches

  • Disturbing text distortions

  • System intrusions (jump scares)

The deeper you go, the harder it becomes to trust what you’re seeing.
