About NETGHOST

Netghost is a Crime Drama visual novel with a mystery-driven story full of intrigue, twists and turns. The story follows Ian Newfield, a reputable cyber security engineer who transforms into a cold-blooded criminal in his struggle to protect the company he works for and provide aid to his ailing, bedridden sister.

Taking inspiration from both Japanese and Western media, we strived to combine the best of both worlds in the creation of Netghost and also lay a foundation for its own identity. It offers a branching storyline with several paths and endings and the ability for the player to change the course of the story by using the in-game email feature.

Ian Newfield is a talented grey-hat hacker who works as a high-ranking cyber security engineer at Daikon Industries, an Information Technology company that is part of a shadowy branch of a larger conglomerate of corporations. His job is to type in the letters and numbers that make up the encryption for top-secret software his company is hired to guard, details of which he knows nothing about.

Ian basks in a frail sense of financial security - that is, until he is told by his boss that their product was cracked and posted anonymously online. Now, Ian is tasked with finding the leaker among his peers by using any method at his disposal, in a workplace where anyone, from his fellow coders to the janitor of the building, could be the perpetrator...

Meanwhile, Ian's sister, Vivie, is confined to a hospital bed for years now, ill from a bone-wasting disease, and Ian works overtime to cover all her expenses and keep her happy. Despite his generous salary at Daikon, their situation has them living from paycheck to paycheck, and their objective of going for an expensive, experimental treatment for Vivie seems way out of reach.

With Ian's earnest effort to uncover the elusive Daikon leaker, his life and career begin to converge with the criminal underworld of Tri-State City. As fate would have it, opportunities rise for Ian to cut corners and make big money, money that could, perhaps, help find a cure for his sister. An age-old question is brought forth:

Does crime pay?

[h2]From cyber security to criminal fugitive.[/h2] I always find it difficult to recommend a game from an unknown developer. This being DragonFire Studios first game, it does very well, much better than expected. Even though the graphics are perfect and the story is very intriguing, you can see how amateurish the game is at times. I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm just saying that the game has that feeling that it was made by someone who was trying to do something good, but at certain moments did the opposite. Fortunately not to the point of making the game unplayable, but just with that strange feeling... [quote] This review was submitted for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44762845/][i]Arcane Burajiru™[/i][/url] [/quote] [b][u]Story[/u][/b] We are abruptly introduced to Ian Newfield, a cybersecurity engineer working for Daikon Industries. After some explanations, we discover that someone has leaked important company data onto the Dark Web. The data is so important that many powerful companies and entities are interested. We're back to a week ago, when the leak happened. Your boss tells you to find out who inside the company leaked the data. Ian must then…

Really nice artwork for an indie visual novel and the plot is pretty good with plenty of twists and tense moments. There are four endings to get, and the choices are pretty obvious. A few things are left unexplained at the end and it sort of feels like it's setting up for a sequel or something, but for the most part it's a satisfactory conclusion. On the negative side, some characters aren't really explored much and there is no CG gallery unlocked at the end, even though some of the CGs are really gorgeous. Overall, I definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a short thriller VN about hacking and crime, all the while protecting your sickly sister from harm.
