How it feels

A tense, atmospheric visual novel where you navigate eerie rule-bound worlds and unravel a mystery through dialogue and puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the Wuhan dialect voice acting and the creeping, rule-based horror atmosphere, but many find the puzzle minigames disrupt pacing and the later story feels rushed or incomplete. Technical problems like black screens and loading bugs are common, and players split on whether the mix of dialect and Mandarin voice acting works.
