How it feels

A text-driven, emotionally heavy narrative that blends ancient Chinese underworld mythology with tragic romance and psychological tension.

What players say

Players praise the unique modernization of traditional Chinese hell with pop-culture references, but are divided on the writing: the art and music carry a story that some find disjointed and shallow. Voice acting is a mixed bag, with standout performances alongside grating ones, and many criticize the abundance of meaningless choices.
