It's creepy, but it's also lovely. Ghostwire: Tokyo's universe has been extensively renovated to portray a realistic replica of Tokyo in a world inhabited by Japanese mythological creatures.

Ghostwire: Tokyo, developed by Tango Gameworks, combines ancient Japanese mythology with terrifying Japanese horror film creatures to produce a fascinating next-generation action-adventure experience.

Ghostwire: Tokyo begins in modern-day Tokyo to set the scene. The city is cursed with a wicked curse that causes the populace to vanish and spirits to roam the streets.

Players can traverse a haunted version of Tokyo while fighting demons, saving souls, and shutting the gateways that brought them there.

A woman in a hooded white kimono, a headless girl, a toddler in a yellow raincoat, a slew of Slendermen, and individuals in demon masks, many of the Ghostwire: Tokyo's opponents, known as The Visitors, are well-known characters from Japanese mythology and urban tales.

The traditional white wedding kimono worn by this Visitor, who is hidden at the end of the street, is called Shiromuku. It's meant to keep evil spirits away from the bride's hair, which is seen in the teaser when she assaults with her long, knotted hair flying everywhere. This specific Visitor, according to the PlayStation Blog, is a powerful supernatural manifestation of intense remorse and strong affection for her intended spouse.

One of the creepiest urban legends players will come across is Kuchisake-onna. She's been around Japan since late 1970s, and most of the stories about her are the same. She looks to be a regular woman with a face mask who will ask if players think she's attractive.

If players respond yes, she removes her mask, revealing a slice-around-the-mouth visage
