Synopsis

Faye, a contemplative hairdresser, swings moodily between her western aspirations and her Chinese origins. Huang, a Chinese photographer with an expired visa, washes up in a salsa bar when not caressing the city with his camera.

A faint romance temporarily flickers between them. Interweaving scenes, meanwhile, show us Cai and J J, two artists who appear to be in the act of preparing for some mysterious performance.

Ghost Town is a single player VR puzzle-adventure set in 1980s Britian from the makers of The Room. Life has been going well for Edith. The paranormal detective agency she runs with her flatmate has never been busier, she’s almost up-to-date with her rent and the ghosts in her bathroom mirror have been less demanding than usual. But Edith’s world is turned upside down when her brother goes missing and a mysterious new lead promises to reveal clues of his whereabouts. Edith’s journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope a gifted clairvoyant can provide some much-needed answers.
