Overview
Step aboard a stalled train on the Tozai Line and prepare for a unique side-scrolling exploration adventure in Ghosts of the Tozai Line. Following a mysterious accident, the train has become a spectral waiting room, populated by lingering spirits.
As a player, you'll navigate through the train cars, engaging with these enigmatic figures. Each spirit has lost their memory, unable to recall their past lives or what ties them to this place.
Your mission is to piece together their identities and unfinished business. By taking notes in your in-game notebook, you can meticulously identify each passenger, car by car.
The core gameplay revolves around finding and returning personal belongings that hold significance to these spirits, a process that gradually helps them reclaim their sense of self. Beyond the immediate present, the game also offers glimpses into past events through residual thoughts, adding layers to the mystery of who remains and why.
