Folktales are often concerned with gods, bloodthirsty demons, and wrathful elemental creatures. Tango Gameworks has decided to tap into a different side of Japan’s mythos for its ghost-hunting adventure. The spirits and yokai you face in Ghostwire: Tokyo evoke a different kind of terror, stemming from the realisation that something so monstrous has its roots in the human world.
The setting’s modern-day Tokyo, but the boundaries between the living world and spirit world have collapsed and the city’s population has vanished and been replaced with otherworldly beings called the Visitors. You play as Akito, a young man who is surprised to find himself alive after being hit by a car. His miraculous return from the grave is thanks to a spirit called KK, a dead ghost-hunting detective who is now hitching a ride in Akito’s body. KK lends his supernatural powers to Akito and the two play buddy-cop as they kick some ghost butt, restore the city, and save Akito’s sister from the masked orchestrator of all the ghostly shenanigans.
