How it feels

A quiet, text-heavy walk through a surreal 1990s Chinese town, blending nostalgia with sci-fi unease via clicker and visual novel mechanics.

What players say

Players describe this as a nostalgic, Chinese rural sci-fi short story or interactive art book rather than a game. Many praise its artwork and atmosphere, but several note the UI is buggy, page-turning feels rough, and the game lacks depth in interactivity.
