Japanese indie game developer Furoshiki Laboratory and Chinese publisher WhisperGames announced the release date for their new action novel game 1f y0u’re a gh0st ca11 me here!<\/strong><\/em> It will come out on November 1 for PC (via Steam). The game supports English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. A demo version is currently available on Steam.

1f y0u’re a gh0st ca11 me here!<\/em> is a novel game that tests your reflexes and quick decision-making skills. The protagonist Vanitas is a newly hired employee at a call center in the underworld, answering calls from ghosts in need of assistance. Vanitas\u2019 job is to guide the ghosts left behind in the human realm so they can reach the underworld in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some ghosts are in need of medical assistance, while some are being exorcised. The catch is, ghosts can only call you for five seconds. The game progresses in real-time, so you must quickly decide what to do with them. Plus, Vanitas has to handle multiple calls simultaneously, making it harder to keep track of each call and its content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the calls from ghosts are displayed in text, with the important parts highlighted in bold. The player must keep track of each conversation and click on the appropriate service icon. Depending on how you handle the calls, the ghosts might not be able to reach the underworld.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I played the demo version and it made me feel like I was playing a rhythm game with its upbeat soundtrack and busy decision-making segments. I can\u2019t wait to see how the gameplay will expand in the full game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the store page description, the game will also depict issues such as \u201cThe prejudice against communication technology, the lack of human resources, the confusion of a new life with the evolution of technology.\u201d
