City of Ghosts is an original dark paranormal sci fi fantasy property set in a future world where the boundaries between the living and the dead have collapsed. Ghosts now rise in peaceful, violent, and grotesque forms, forcing society into a constant state of fear, containment, and conflict. As supernatural incidents intensify, heavily armed task forces work around the clock to protect the living, while deeper, more sinister powers move behind the scenes to reshape the world for their own ends.
At the centre of the property is a layered world defined by death, corruption, hidden truth, and survival. What appears to be a battle against ghosts quickly opens into something far more dangerous: a system built on secrecy, manipulation, and buried history. Institutions presented as protectors may be compromised. Power struggles run through politics, enforcement, and the supernatural itself. As the living fight to preserve order, the dead are no longer the only threat.
The core narrative follows young protagonists drawn into a wider conspiracy through personal loss, buried secrets, and growing awareness of forces operating beyond ordinary human understanding. The world contains patrol officers, ghost task forces, criminal and extremist elements, enigmatic supernatural figures, and layered structures of control, creating a setting that can support both intimate character drama and large scale conflict. This gives the property a strong foundation for serial storytelling, franchise expansion, and adaptation across multiple formats.
City of Ghosts combines horror, action, mystery, emotional conflict, and speculative worldbuilding. Its appeal lies not only in its ghost ridden premise, but in the way it ties supernatural danger to power, faith, loyalty, identity, and the cost of truth. The property is designed to support a major long form narrative while also offering strong adaptation potential for television, film, games, and other interactive or visual formats.
As an IP, City of Ghosts is positioned as a commercially flexible property with strong visual identity, expandable mythology, and cross media potential. The concept naturally lends itself to episodic storytelling, cinematic worldbuilding, and interactive adaptation, while the existence of both a novel and a fully working board game prototype demonstrates real development depth beyond a single concept.
