Haunted Byte: Who's This?

In a near-future world dominated by virtual reality, you are a digital detective unwittingly sucked into a haunted simulation after a friend goes missing. As you traverse through the eerie remnants of an abandoned digital city and confront corrupted AIs, you uncover disturbing secrets hidden within the code. Engaging with the ghosts of former players, you must piece together clues while dodging glitches that threaten your very existence. Each choice you make as you solve puzzles and unravel the enigma impacts the simulation's stability and your chances of escape—not just for yourself, but for the souls trapped within. Can you save your friend and break the curse, or will you become another ghost in the machine?
