How it feels

You explore crime scenes at a methodical pace, piecing together clues in a nonlinear narrative that blends traditional Chinese folk horror with realistic detective work.

What players say

Players say the game offers a hard puzzle experience where you must find and combine tiny clues, with a steep learning curve and no handholding. The six-chapter story set in 1990s China has atmospheric horror and jumpscares, but players are split on whether the slow updates between chapters and the confusing clue-merging system hurt the flow.
