Chinese-Style horrible game! I'd like to recommend it.
Idk man something about fangfang and Feng Shui I couldn't exactly keep track of the story
Good Game
I thought this is kinda a cheap game. turns out, this is the very first game that makes my cry like a baby
Love the game, good narrative and good story.
**6/10** Played on my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, and the game ran smoothly with no performance issues. It's actually a great fit for handheld gaming. The atmosphere is decent, and there are a few creepy moments, but it relies too much on predictable jump scares. The story didn't grab me, and the gameplay became repetitive after the first hour. It's not terrible, just an average indie horror experience.
