## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You hack brainware in a rain-lit New Port City precinct. Your team logs new cases that aren’t crimes yet. Then a ghost starts stringing human puppets into suicide jumps and Section 9 realizes the next target is one of them. Oshii’s 2.0 update builds Puppetmaster’s ghost from signal ghosts in the original’s frames, turning every glitch into a tactical clue.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, cerebral, mindfuck, neon-soaked
