Ukagaka 伺か
Ghosts (English), Ukagaka (伺か) , Nanika (何か) or Sakura (さくら) are terms that all describe computer's desktop companions from the early 2000s that are mainly designed to have conversations with you and interact with things on your computer. They're one of my hobbies, I love collecting them. With a little bit of work, you can customize them or even create your own Ghosts pretty easily.Beginner's Guide | The best english guide to get started with using Ghosts |
