About this game

Plot Introduction:

Abandoned infant Qi Ning returns to their old home, intending to take back their foster brother Qi Yu, who has been abused by the villagers. However, neither of them ever manages to leave...

Gameplay Design:

Two players will experience spatially separated environments. They must piece together clues each can obtain, solve puzzles in their respective spaces, or cooperate with each other to advance the game progress and uncover more truths of the story. Meanwhile, many puzzles and horror elements are related to Zhejiang's folk culture.

Scene Design:

All ancient stage scenes in the game are based on field research of local ancient stages in Zhejiang. Combined with puzzle-solving gameplay, they integrate the architectural structure of Zhejiang's water town and the spatial imagery of "Wan Nian Tai" (the "eternal stage," a classic form of traditional stages), adding extra depth and charm to the gameplay.

Audio Design:

The game's audio is rooted in traditional Taoist culture, aiming to deliver a fresh yet classic design that inherits time-honored traditions.
