How it feels

A slow-paced, atmospheric side-scrolling puzzle adventure through a beautifully illustrated mythological world, where exploration and thoughtful puzzle-solving drive the experience.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn Chinese folk art and soothing music, but nearly all highlight stiff controls and clunky movement. Puzzle clues are often too vague, and the lack of a checkpoint system means a single mistake can permanently block progress. The English translation is widely criticized for bad grammar and inconsistencies.
