Character introduction
Tan Kai
A boy who was excellent in both academic and moral character in high school, but failed to adapt to the new environment after entering university, and his grades plummeted. He fell into confusion and began to muddle through his days. At this time, three girls with different identities and personalities broke into his life. Tan Kai's life also changed quietly.
Jiang Xingyan
Tan Kai's classmate, who dreams of becoming an actress, but doesn't know why she entered the computer department. She has excellent grades, lively and lovely, and has a very wide range of interpersonal relationships. As the daughter of a restaurant owner, her family is fairly wealthy. The only problem is that her family does not support her dream. However, she has been secretly rebelling, looking forward to becoming the most glamorous star on the screen.
Si Rou
The class leader of Tan Kai's class, ranked first in the class, upright and kind, willing to help others. She has a very grand ideal-to contribute to the happiness of all mankind. She did not stop at looking up at the stars because her dream was too grand, but instead worked hard bit by bit. But perhaps it was her stubborn personality that caused her to constantly clash with others in the process of working hard, making her dream road extremely bumpy. Her parents are both workers, so her family is slightly poor. But her parents have always been trying their best to support her ideal, because her faith is exactly what her parents taught her since childhood.
Song Shuyao
A classmate who is in the same club as Tan Kai, she is a rich girl. She received elite education since childhood, talented and well-educated. She always maintains a gentle and elegant lady image, but because she has lived in a star-studded environment since childhood, she sometimes becomes very domineering without knowing it. Her dream is to marry the boy she likes against her father's plan.

"有所思 Yearning" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is yet another garbage Steam Direct e-book, and like almost all of them, the main topic is the author expressing his fantasy of dating his imaginary girlfriends, although at least this time they're college students instead of high school students, so kudos to the author for not being quite as creepy as his peers. This is still a gigantic mountain of cringe. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution.

有所思 Yearning is an independently developed Chinese visual novel that combines university romance with a more reflective story about growing up, losing direction, and deciding what kind of life is worth pursuing. Developed and published by 有所思制作组, the game follows Tan Kai, a university student whose once-promising academic life has gradually deteriorated. He had been an excellent student with strong principles during high school, but university has left him increasingly unmotivated and uncertain about his future.

Tan Kai's stagnant routine begins to change through his relationships with three women whose personalities and circumstances represent very different approaches to life. This structure gives the romantic component greater thematic importance because each heroine is more than a potential partner. Their ambitions, backgrounds, and conflicts challenge Tan Kai in different ways while also a…
