Ghost Archive is a meta-horror interactive archive game. You are an investigator granted access to the "Paranormal Event Archive Management System." Browse classified case files, search for keywords, piece together clues — and uncover the truth behind a series of unexplained disappearances spanning over a century.

But as your investigation deepens, you begin to realize: the archives aren't just being read. They're reading you.

Key Features:

🔍 Archive Exploration: 29+ unique case files — manuscripts, reports, diaries, autopsy records, and more

📝 Keyword Search System: Type the right keywords to unlock new files, simulating real investigative work

👁️ Resonance & Control Dual Tracker: Every choice you make is recorded. Every path you take leaves a trace

🌐 Whisper Network: Eerie messages left behind by other "investigators"

🏆 Multiple Endings: Your level of control determines your fate — Tracker, Witness, or Symbiote?
