About the Game

Propulsive gameplay based on the axis of time

The game "Temple in the Snow" adopts the main axis of time advancement, supplemented by loops as the main gameplay method.

In the game, there are four time periods: "unitary time, 戌 time, hai time, and sub time", and in each time period, players will encounter NPCs in different states in different locations. Advance time by choosing different NPCs to dive into the dialogue.

Depending on the player's choices, the course of the game will also change subtly. The game encourages players to try to advance time with different NPCs in a looping way, so as to discover more information and finally restore the story.

Realistic 3D immersive exploration

The game uses the most advanced engine technology to restore the ancient scene of ancient temples in the snow with an ancient flavor. The overall gameplay is non-linear in the sandbox, and players can freely explore the scene.

The 3D sandbox scene in the game, combined with the time propulsion system, creates a complex world of space and time for players. The same place, at different times, will have different clue props. And the cause and effect of this still need to be reasoned and understood by the player.

Beautiful vertical illustrations and rich voice acting

A fire broke out in an ancient temple in the deep mountains, and an old case was very loud.

A number of portraits and illustrations drawn by watercolor artists, supplemented by professional voice teachers, take you back to that cold winter day, face the fire and the six suspects present.

Nearly ten original ancient music

The game contains nearly ten original ancient music songs, bringing you a pure ancient sound experience and helping you better immerse yourself in the story.
