"Welcome to the game connected by your soul (Ghost)." You bought the new VR game "GHOST" from the online shopping site "Bermuda Online". The moment you start it, you feel a strong floating sensation and lose consciousness. When you wake up, you are inside the monitor. This game is a system that connects players to a digital virtual space using the power of their Soul. However, it also contained a program to trap the separated soul as a "Ghost". [ Story ] "Oh, your Ghost... has some noise mixed in." The voice coming from the speaker belongs to the "Mysterious Developer" who built this system. According to him, this game separates a part of the participant's soul and generates a "Closed Cube"—a sealed room constructed based on those memories. Spread out before your eyes is a mysterious scene that looks familiar but somehow different. In the gaps between furniture, exposed "Polygons" (3D data) and "Collisions" (hitboxes that shouldn't be visible) are mixed in. It is a room of incomplete memories. There is only one way to return to your original body. Find the "Bugs" hiding in the data gaps, deceive this perfect system, and force a logout. A dangerous login, betting your own soul, begins now. [ A playPLANT Series Title ] Set in the unique "PLANT World". This story is complete on its own. You can enjoy it fully even if this is your first playPLANT game!
