A slow, puzzle-focused adventure through a gloomy, fictional 1940s Taiwanese village, where a boy's search for his brother grows increasingly unsettling as daylight fades.

What players say

Players praise the unique puzzles, atmospheric art style, and story about a boy searching for his brother in 1940s Taiwan. It is short, about three hours, and has a true ending that changes the story. Many note bugs near the end and some technical issues. The reviews are split by political review bombing from Chinese players upset with the historical depiction of the 228 Incident.
