How it feels
A slow-paced atmospheric puzzle game that feels like unraveling a spooky traditional Chinese folk tale through careful observation and deduction.

What players say
Players praise the Chinese folklore setting and the atmospheric horror, but note that scares rely heavily on jump scares. The puzzles range from intuitive to extremely tricky, and some feel arbitrary. A common frustration is that using any hint locks the achievement, forcing a full replay. The story is well received and the game is short, around four hours.
