In 'Phantom Banter', players step into the shoes of Jess, a struggling stand-up comedian who accidentally awakens a group of sassy, sarcastic ghosts in an old theater. As Jess navigates through the afterlife’s open-mic night, players must engage with these spectral spirits, each with their unique comedic styles and tragic backstories. The objective is to craft the perfect set that blends humor with their ghostly tales while setting the stage for a dramatic showdown with a rival comedian who has his own dark past. Decisions made throughout the game will impact not just the performance, but also the fates of the ghosts, leading to multiple endings that range from hilarious to haunting.
