A minimalist word-puzzle game where you manipulate text to alter reality, feeling like a clever, introspective logic exercise.

What players say
Players praise the creative concept of manipulating Chinese characters to solve puzzles, but warn that the game requires specific solutions, which can frustrate those who think differently from the developers. The demo is well-received for its length and clarity, with a hint system that helps struggling players.
