Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
An enjoyable little chinese Visual Novel - fairly short, but the worth its price. It reminded me a little of Raging Loop while playing it, although I feel like it's a bit of a shame that every route basically give you almost full information, making the mystery vanish very early on - this meant aside from a few "oh I wonder why this character acted like that", most of the routes you'll complete for a bit of curiosity, but mostly for the true ending. The translation is also a little weak, but I'd still say it's fine. I highly recommend this game, especially at a discount!6 found this helpful
The central theme of the story is impressive, and some of the subplots are a bit difficult to follow, but they are all for the sake of the true ending. Also, the DLC explains a character's mental state through Peach Blossom Spring, and should be viewed as another story, yet it's also good! P.S. I were playing the game in Chinese language.3 found this helpful
I love the story and how they show us the branching map. It show me all of the possibilities, make me more curious in other route. The bgm, song and sfx are bangers especially the creepy one at the bad end. Makes my skin crawl coz how disturbing it is1 found this helpful

A very sad and beautiful story, even though quite short, I highly recommend it to any VN fans. As you might have seen in other reviews, the English translation is quite... lacking... but I genuinely believe that it does not substract from the impact of the story at all. When it comes to the "gameplay" aspect of it, there are a few main routes that stem from one single meaningful choice, each with a few unique endings and some general "bad ends". The mindmap shown in the menu is really helpful. You don't get to spend a whole lot of time with the characters, but I still got attached to them, even the ones who appeared irredeemable at first. There are some secret endings and I was left extremely satisfied by them :) genuinely happy that I found the option to help the characters I deeply cared about. All-in-all a bittersweet story that's very much worth experiencing. SPOILER FOR THE SECRET ENDING [spoiler] Once I realized that Nighttime Shuang Hua is not an evil and scheming overlord, but just extremely devoted to her followers and full of kindness, the kind of subtle kindness only a person who suffered as much as her could be capable of, I knew I had to help her as well somehow…1 found this helpful
