Plot

Note: As the game is nonlinear, events described below may not necessarily occur in that order when playing the game.

The player character's friend Dr. Roxanne ("Roxy") Westbridge purchases a reportedly haunted house in North Carolina and begins performs paranormal tests there. A mutual friend asks the player character to check on her, as he is worried that she may be too hasty with the still undeveloped ghost hunting equipment. The player character drives to the house. Suddenly, in the middle of the road an apparition appears. The player character swerves to the right to avoid the ghostly shape and ends up in the nearby pond. The player character emerges soaking wet and explores the garage and house. Roxy appears to be unconscious in the garage with a device on her head, and the house has no electricity.

After restoring electricity, the player character discovers that Roxy has several types of ghost hunting equipment: surveillance cameras; the BAR (Bulbic Activity Reader); a doorknob sensor which detects spiritual residue in doorknobs; the PeeK, a pocket television-like device which allows the user to listen to the sounds in the doorknobs and works with the BAR and cameras to observe spiritual activity from a safe distance; and the AMBER (Astral Mobility By Electromagnetic Resonance) headset device itself, which allows the user to enter the minds of ghosts to discover what they are thinking and seeing and to remind them of who they are so they may ascend. The last device is still in the testing phase and its use is considered to be very risky. Apparently Roxy's spirit was lost while she was attempting to use the AMBER device.
