In Punch Line we will take on the role of Yūta Iridatsu, a young man expelled from his body and turned into a ghost. The main character's objective will be to return to his body, for which he will have to solve riddles and improve his ghostly abilities. However, he will have a handicap in his adventure. If you look at your partners' underwear for too long, the world as we know it will be destroyed.
