How it feels

A relaxed, dialogue-driven visual novel about chance encounters and everyday life in Shenyang, with a casual, free-to-play feel.

What players say

Players call it a free visual novel with full voice acting that affectionately recreates internet memes from the 2010s. Many say it feels like a love letter to growing up in Northeast China, with detailed Shenyang landmarks, though some find the story just okay and the humor niche.
