Browse Source 
✅ 2 GHOST REFERENCES ADDED:

1. ghost_otac_cyan.png (Father Ghost)
   - 50% transparent with NEON CYAN outline
   - VHS scanline glitch effect (broken memory)
   - Floating/hovering (no ground)
   - Still holding longboard (ghostly cyan glow)
   - Sad but peaceful expression
   - Dark noir background with cyan atmosphere

2. ghost_mati_magenta.png (Mother Ghost)

   - VHS scanline glitch effect (memory persists)
   - Floating/hovering (ethereal)
   - Holding flowers (ghostly magenta glow)
   - The Clash shirt visible through transparency
   - Sad but loving expression
   - Dark noir background with magenta atmosphere

👻 GHOST QUEST MECHANICS:

**Trigger:**
- Appears ONLY after Ana is rescued
- Before rescue: just unclear shadows in fog
- After rescue: full neon ghost manifestation

**Visual Style:**
- Transparent neon shader (cyan/magenta)
- VHS scanline glitch (Style 32 Noir)
- Memories that can't rest
- Lead Kai to death location

**The Quest:**
- Ghosts don't speak much
- Float toward where they died
- Player follows ghost trail
- Discover truth about virus/zombie attack
- Emotional closure for Kai

**Haptic Feedback:**
- When ghosts near: Xbox controller STOPS aggressive vibration
- Switches to gentle pulse (parents are near)
- Comfort presence, not fear

🎬 NARRATIVE PURPOSE:

**Amnesia Resolution:**
- Kai sees father with longboard (even as ghost)
- Remembers happy intro memories
- Emotional 'BOOM' moment
- "My father... I remember now!"

**Complete Story Arc:**
- Intro: Happy past → Horror → Amnesia
- Gameplay: Kai ages, searches Ana, longboards
- Finale: Ana found → Parents guide → Truth revealed

💙💜 GHOST DNA:
- Father: Stretched ears, punk look, longboard (Kai inherited)
- Mother: Piercings, dreads, The Clash (Kai's punk DNA)
- Both: Neon glow confirms 'this is where Kai got it from'
