About the Game

A FIRST-PERSON PARKOUR MYSTERY ADVENTURE

Vanished without a trace. Explore an abandoned city where you are not alone.

As photojournalist Alo, you return to your childhood home—Chendao, a once-sprawling metropolis that, overnight, became an abandoned exclusion zone. In this single-player adventure, you're armed with nothing but her camera and parkour abilitiesas Alo traverses the procedurally generated city to uncover the truth behind its abandonment and the crimson mist that hovers over the streets.

GAMEPLAY

Pure Investigation - No weapons, no enemies, no combat. Your camera is your tool, evidence is your ammunition. Every photograph reveals another piece of Chendao's final story. Document strange phenomena, collect visual proof, and build a case that challenges the official narrative.

Urban Parkour - To reach the city's center, Alo must master a fluid traversal system. Use wall-running, precision jumping, grappling hooks, and advanced movement abilities to reach every corner of the abandoned metropolis. Discover new traversal abilities that unlock previously inaccessible areas and photo opportunities.

Procedural Cityscape - Each district is procedurally generated while maintaining key story locations. Chendao feels different every time you explore it, but the mystery remains consistent. The city may be empty of people, but it's full of secrets.

Survive and Explore - On her journey, Alo must not only search for clues but also gather resources and food. Manage your supplies, establish safe camps, and plan your routes carefully. Your camps become crucial rest and respawn points as you venture deeper into the city's heart.

A Crimson Mystery - That red fog isn't just an atmospheric phenomenon—it is central to Chendao's abandonment. Stay alert and ready to run when it appears in the streets. But you can't flee forever—the answers Alo seeks lie within those red wisps.

YOUR STORY TO TELL

Alo left Chendao as a child, but part of her never left at all. Now she's back with questions about her missing family and a journalist's instinct that the official story doesn't add up. Working for a small underground newspaper, she carries a traditional token from her father—a reminder of the culture and family she left behind. Driven by the need to uncover what really led to the mysterious vanishing of an entire population, she wanders through dark alleys, climbs crumbling buildings, and leaps across abandoned rooftops on her journey to Chendao's center district. Every empty street, every abandoned apartment, every strange photograph brings her closer to understanding what really happened here.

This isn't about saving the world or fighting monsters. It's about one person with a camera, trying to document a truth that powerful people want forgotten. The city of Chendao has a story to tell—if you're willing to listen to it.
