So,  I'm a little fuzzy on how this works? I'm going to keep rereading the OP if that's what it takes,  but I'm uncertain how the horror fits into this? Are the spirits treated more like ghosts,  and if so, what does that mean for regular digimon? I'm having a hard time painting a clear image of the setting and themes presented...

Edit: after a thorough reread,  I can say I understand much better,  now.

So,  will this primarily be in the analog world,  and are the digimon still largely regarded like their cryptid counterparts and such?
