About 篱笆庄秘闻 / Mysteries of Fence

*Based on a true story

*A magical realism masterpiece which caused great discussions in China's Internet Community.

Internet addiction, it was just a noun which invented by an American psychiatrist in the forum for joking at first.But it has been deeply rooted among the people in China now.In a few places of China,some children who often surf the Internet will be considered as having internet addiction and mental illness, and they will be sent to internet addiction rehabilitation center to accept compulsory treatment by their families.

In 2008, the internet addiction rehabilitation center and Professor Yang appeared on television documentary with a positive light. The way that Professor Yang used electric shock and other extreme measures to treat internet addiction, made him become the savior in some ignorant parents’ mind.

In 2016, a netizen posted an autobiography which over twenty thousand words on the internet to tell the cruel treatments she accepted in the center. For those teenagers who were forced to accept the "treatment", the hurt was irreversible in physically and mentally, some cut their wrists, some jumped off a building, some claimed they will be die alone, there were also some who backed to normal life, but they don’t know when they can move on from the psychological shadow.

This game is based on a true story

In the past 30 years, the rapid growth of economy continually impacted the old orders of the traditional China.this game is such a slice of modern China. Although with the popularity of internet, the old generations no longer regard the internet as dreadful monster,the number of rehabilitation center is getting less,we still want to use such a game to record the unknown pain and struggles of ordinary people in the far east country, hoping that our descendants will never forget these tragedies happened before.

Poor English translation makes the game hard to understand at times, the controls can be clunky during puzzles and the story is weirdly paced.

I think this game is important. I decided to read a little on the background of Professor Yang and he is a demon. There are no other words to decribe him. There is a saying "see no evil, hear no evil," but if you don't see evil or hear about it, how does one stop it or will the blind eye allow people like this to continue? The very least when people bring awareness to others, I like to think it helps a little. At least, in the knowledge that people are looking and watching. If nothing else, perhaps future parents will think twice before sending their beloved babies to a place like that. It was a difficult game to stomach, to be sure, but it is based on a true life story about people who have experienced this sort of terror. It is terrible. My hearts go to these people. I wish you all good fortune and a better life that you deserve because no one deserves this. Okay, enough with the rant. The game was pretty good. The graphics, drawings, and music. It was scary to put my mind into the person who was stuck in a place like this and wonder whether my choices would lead to further torture. It would be a difficult concept to have to deal with in real life. Scary.

I think this is a game that tells an important story which is well written despite the poor English translation. This game is far from perfect but it's still engaging and fun. My biggest problem was that it was far too easy to skip text and some other controls were a bit wonky. But I still enjoyed it. A short but serious visual novel that's good for a bit of a detective feel.

This is probably the best game I've played by this dev? it has a windowed mode, the translation isn't as bad as some of them have been. Story is interesting too, though I'm pretty unnerved that it's based on a real one. It's worth picking up if you like point and clicks, and don't mind a shaky translation.

Very interesting story. Even creeper considering this is based on a real story supposedly. The translation is quite clumsy, but not bad enough to not get whats going on. The game is freshened up with the occasional mini game. All in all it was a good game for the price I paid.
