Dig Night

From the Devs

【Story】

In a world plagued by Schizosoma—a flesh-splitting disease that turns people into ghosts—it's become normal for society to leave the cleanup to professional ghost sweepers.

Ricardo, a washed-up temp cleaner, takes a job scraping ghost flesh off the streets. It’s grim work... but it pays.
