How it feels

A slow-paced narrative investigation set in 1920s Wuhan, blending historical detail with thoughtful puzzles and a moody, hand-drawn aesthetic.

What players say

Players say it is a short interactive story with clean art but no voice acting. Many compare it unfavorably to 山河旅探, calling the logic weak and the protagonist's actions unconvincing. The puzzle design is simple and the investigation amounts to walking and clicking. A few appreciate the narrative and ending twist, but there is disagreement on whether the story holds together.
