How it feels

A Chinese horror adventure with low-intensity scares, puzzle solving, and a mix of tension and light humor.

What players say

Players are split: some appreciate the Chinese horror atmosphere and support the small team, but most complain about confusing keycard colors that don't match doors, a battery system that drains without warning, and frequent bugs like getting stuck or falling out of the map. The game is short, with only two chapters available, and updates have stalled according to the developer.
