The mission: Your story in New York City
You are ghost hunter extraordinaire, X, a looming hooded figure who inspires fear in both the living and the dead.
You are searching for Sir Bobbington, a once-famous socialite who has been avoiding his weekly haunting duties to mischievously saunter about town.
Your employers, the Ghost Alliance, have told you that catching Bobbington quickly is essential. He is plotting something and has slipped through the hands of many lesser hunters. Your fearsome reputation depends on finding Bobbington.
