✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the engaging mystery story and multiple endings that reward exploration, with particular praise for the sophisticated narrative design and character portrayal of Li Feng. However, the game is hampered by a poor English translation that undermines the complex plot, lack of audio despite advertising it, and the primarily linear structure where most choices feel inconsequential despite creating an illusion of branching—though some find charm in these quirks.

AI-generated, rushed crap. I liked the plot flow chart concept but really I got the game cuz it said full audio, which there wasn't any.4 found this helpful
The game features a pretty decent mystery plot. For me it has two main points of charm. Firstly, it has many choices, while most of them are meaningless in the grand scheme of thing as the game has almost no branching, they still present an interesting oppurtunity to think about the best course of action. Secondly, the game somehow strikes hits the perfect sweetspot of being adorably cheesy with its "interesting" english translation and certain slightly contrieved plot points.1 found this helpful
The story is too complicated(and good) to be played with such a ♥♥♥♥ machine translation. Play it in chinese if you are lucky enough to know the language of Xinnie the ccPooh. Otherwise, don't even attempt the english version.1 found this helpful
What a great game to enjoy for free! Sometimes I felt like I'm just reading a book with some pictures, but very sophisticated game design with multiple endings impressed me when finishing. I'll donate right now and hope you make precious games more!1 found this helpful
Mixed feelings. Graphics are typical AI slop, but the plot is fine. English translation is unreadable at times and makes you guess a lot based on context clues. Still, it's a pretty good mystery for a free game.
