About Turn back the clock:Hsinchu
The scene design of this game is based on real historical time and space, creating a very high sense of immersion in the age, allowing players to experience the historical time and space changes and cultural connotations of Hsinchu City while playing.
Feature of the product:
■Distinctive art style: The game art is realized in a simple Low Poly style, which simply but completely retains the architectural and humanistic characteristics of Hsinchu in various eras.
■Through the plot based on historical facts: We invite professional film and television screenwriters Monica and Shaballe to write, and plan chapters in the mode of unit drama. The game plot is based on historical events, supplemented by a sci-fi time-space travel worldview, allowing players to have more magical imagination space for established historical events.
■Double protagonist line: Players can choose the characters to play according to the progress of the plot, and experience the same script from different character perspectives as the starting point. The two protagonists will also experience conflict, cooperation, choice, and other plots, adding a touch to the script color.
■Abundant action and puzzle-solving elements: The game is not limited to static observation and puzzle-solving, but also has dynamic action elements for players to complete when encountering emergencies.
■360 Surround View Video Appreciation: Provides five scenic spots with 4K high-resolution stereo shooting in VR 180/360, players can see the current situation of Hsinchu scenic spots.
