How it feels

A slow-paced, story-driven RPGMaker adventure blending Chinese history with mythological and philosophical themes.

What players say

Players appreciate the creative premise blending philosophy and 1920s Shanghai, but the experience is marred by a poor English translation, frequent random encounters, unclear objectives, and punishing death penalties that force constant saving. Bugs that block progression are common, and many say the game relies on external guides to navigate.
