Amazing short mystery VN! I really like time loop stories and while this one is somewhat repetitive and pursuing specific endings tends to be difficult, I found myself highly entertained regardless. The ancient setting is interesting and immersive; the lovely art and wonderful music definitely add to its unique vibe, plus greatly maintain the suspenseful and partially emotional atmosphere. The plot is quite captivating and I like how it handles the mystery with every character being incredibly suspicious yet still well written. The supernatural elements are very intriguing too. I would've certainly loved the game to be longer in order to find out more about the lore and characters! Now I don't know whether this series will actually continue eventually, however even as a stand-alone story I can confidently recommend it!

Mystery in which you must figure out who is trying to kill you before the third loop concludes. First of all, although the game’s engine is unique, it comes with all the quality of life features you need. This includes the ability to save at any moment and skip through read or unread text. Naturally, skimming through the entire plot only to get to the ending undermines the entire point of a visual novel. The tale revolves around the mystery of your death. You are placed in the shoes of Yao Xiu, a young woman who is preparing to marry. However, on the day before her weeding, she drinks some soup and dies. However, this is not the end since someone gives her three opportunities to save herself. Each loop ends with your death and returns you to the same day, and you must learn more with each loop. Everything you discover is recorded in the clues menu. There are several clues, the most of which involve all of the characters, but there are a few additional ones, such as soup and the fortress where the game takes place. Clues are updated automatically, and a note will appear on the screen so you do not miss anything. You can even keep sipping the soup until you reach the worst possib…

An awesome game with a lot of branching. It took me a while to solve the case, and I enjoyed every single bad endings. The voice acting really makes the game more immersive. The art style, though simple, is very artistic. I wish there was some more romance in the story, but hey, it's more about the mystery and I'm okay with that. Highly recommends for Chinese culture lovers.

Short and sweet. Nice story. Clunky translation but that's to be expected. Some routes were a bit of a pain but easy to look up. Recommend

another entry in the time loop detective game genre. I did find myself just using trial and error/guides because of the pacing, as being a time loop game you will necessarily 'bactrack' through scenes you've already seen, and the dialog. the translation seems accurate but sometimes wooden, and sometimes it repeats itself in the way LNs and CNs do. however the setting is unique, the art is good, and everything works as it should. the asking price is a little high but i think it would be a good buy at a decent sale
