New York City, 2052. A shining futuristic city, yet clinging onto its ‘80s style and aesthetic, is plagued from a seemingly endless paranormal epidemic. Since the late 20th Century, beginning around 1984, the world has experienced an unexpected & intense surge of paranormal activity. Scientists & religious experts alike are baffled by the increasing reports of these spooks, poltergeists, and entities. Decades later, a new profession was created to investigate, contain, and eliminate these entities; while given many names, it’s commonly dubbed as “Ghostbusting.”

Out of the many ghost-hunting and paranormal investigation companies, two rival organizations dominate the city’s ghostbusting industry. The well-regarded Ghost Corps (commonly dubbed by the public as the Ghostbusters) and the ruthlessly competitive Ghost Smashers.

One night, you’re jolted awake by the room’s alarms of the Ghost Corp HQ, with the intercom stating, “Ghost Corp Team No. 84, a bust has been called for at Brooklyn. Assemble immediately.” You and the other team members rapidly put on your Ghostbusting uniform and head down to the subterranean garage floor to get into Ectomobile-84, a renovated 1976 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance with purple emergency lights, a black paint job, and the iconic No-Ghost Sign on the front doors, hood, and trunk door of the vehicle. The Ectomobile dashes out from the HQ building as it makes its way to where the bust is called.
