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.
