彼岸画廊/Nether Gallery

this game doesnt work in my 2 computers also..cant see the main character in the beginning of the game

I have bought this game since the english patch was out (2 years ago or so). The game has never worked, like everyone else the begenning is glitched and we can't see the main character... The devs haven't fixed it yet even if we reported this a long time ago. They don't care about their game so don't bother buying it if you don't speak chinese!

Pros - Good story - Great Art - Well matched soundtrack - Logic gates, bits Cons - Kinda easy to play, should be more challenging - Translation is only in the dialogues, any document you find isn't translated. - AD controls would be nice to have, instead of mouse Overall would recommend it to play.

Nether Gallery, also known as 彼岸画廊, developed and published by HongShou Studio, is a dark, atmospheric 2D horror adventure that delves into the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, life and death, memory and oblivion. The game follows Wu Bai, a weary office worker whose mundane existence is suddenly interrupted by an inexplicable descent into a surreal world known as the “gallery.” Within this eerie realm, fragments of his memories, regrets, and anxieties take physical form, transforming familiar places into twisted representations of his psyche.

At its core, Nether Gallery uses its horror elements not simply to frighten, but to comment on the suffocating monotony of working life and the emotional decay that can come from it. Wu Bai’s story is steeped in the culture of overwork and alienation; his e…

Most of the way through this and I liked it way more than I thought I would. The writing is pretty good. The puzzles are logical no real moon logic. You end up feeling pretty sympathetic to the main character, even though he's sort of an idiot who is late to work because he was buying a light bulb and he had to go through trash looking for receipts before the clerk would open the store when he could have just come back after work.

Do not play this game unless you can speak Chinese. It says "Translated to English"; I would beg to differ. The poorly done translation might be sufficient in some regards, but as puzzles get more complex, the nonsense they tried to pass up for a translation won't be enough to get by.
