About the Game

追曙ZhuiShu is a horror narrative puzzle game set in Southeast Asia, weaving together elements of traditional Chinese folklore.

A buried death. Two interwoven fates.

Story Synopsis

Yang Fan, a righteous police officer, receives a cryptic radio distress call during his night shift: "...the mountains...save the children..." The signal originates from an abandoned apartment building - official records show it was the site of a young girl's suicide years ago.

Jiang Yufei, an ordinary teacher, gets drawn into the mystery after her student's inexplicable death. Each clue she uncovers pulls her deeper into a dangerous truth no one dares confront.

When their fates intersect across time, they must confront a cruel truth—death is not the end, but the beginning of a greater conspiracy.

Gameplay

Light puzzle-solving seamlessly woven into the narrative flow creates an immersive experience that propels the story forward naturally.

Explore meticulously crafted environments to gather clues and items, unraveling hidden truths through intuitive puzzle-solving that progresses organically with the plot.

Key Features

  • Dual Narrative: Alternate between detective Yang Fan and teacher Jiang Yufei to uncover a deliberately erased past

  • Psychological Horror: Oppressive environments, eerie whispers and fragmented clues slowly reveal a suffocating truth

  • True-Crime Inspired: Drawing from real cases, the game blends Eastern cultural elements with profound themes of fate, choice and human nature beneath its terrifying surface

ZhuiShu, meaning "Chasing Dawn" in Chinese, symbolizes the relentless pursuit of light and hope amidst overwhelming darkness. It embodies the journey of uncovering hidden truths, facing inner fears, and striving for clarity in a world shrouded in mystery.
