How it feels

A deliberate, atmospheric point-and-click mystery that combines historical intrigue with cerebral puzzles and well-written dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the Tang Dynasty setting and atmospheric music, but opinion splits on the puzzles: some find them straightforward and satisfying, others call them too simple or frustrating. The game is short, around 3-6 hours, and several players note the lack of keyboard controls.
