Lentera Nusantara studio creates this story to reform popular mindset towards supernatural beings such as kuntilanak, tuyul, buta ijo, and many more. As shown by films, ghosts are portrayed as terrifying, evil, and bloodthirsty entities. The game shows that ghosts are not actually that different from humans as they have their own stories and lives. Moreover, they will not disturb anyone if they are not being disturbed in the first place. The first episode tells that we should be more cautious of the vicious humans than to the beings which we see as the scary ones.
