The Spirited: Origins

❝There is something haunting you. Tugging at the very last threads of your consciousness as you lay in bed, longing for sleep. There is something waiting for you in the window, wanting. You are watched. Known. But you have a job to do in the morning. They said your youth doesn’t define you, and yet your childhood experiences led you to an adulthood of investigating the paranormal. There comes a time when you need to face the ghosts of your past, and those of your present.❞

The Spirited: Origins is an interactive fiction horror game with elements of romance. In TS:O you take the role of an amateur paranormal investigator who jump-starts their career with a case of a demonic entity, while being haunted by their own inner demons.

The game is entirely text-based, and driven by your choices. Create and customise your P.I.; their gender and looks, their personality, their fears. Develop relationships, take on new cases and see the impact your decisions have on those around you.
