How it feels

A deliberate, word-driven detective game set in a wuxia world, where solving cases through logic and rhetoric creates a calm yet cerebral investigative feel.

What players say

Players compare it to Ace Attorney set in ancient China, praising the watercolor art and wuxia flavor. However, many criticize the ending as unsatisfying and logically inconsistent, with some reporting progression bugs and weak deduction.
