Welcome to Wangchuan Town: The Final Stop for Souls
Wangchuan is a border town in the Underworld, the very last station before reincarnation.
You play as AQi, a young woman with the gift of empathy who has just rage-quit her job in Heaven to return to her roots.
Your inheritance? "Wangchuan Pavilion," a centuries-old establishment left by your grandmother. You are now the glorious, newly appointed Meng Po (Lady of Forgetfulness).
But the Pavilion isn't empty.
"Wait, Grandma took in WHO?"
You’ll manage the shop alongside a mysterious hacker living in the basement and an enigmatic boy named Xiao Meng in the attic. Together, you will face the chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming daily life of the Underworld.
Crisis in the Afterlife
The winds of "Cost-Cutting and Efficiency" have blown all the way to Wangchuan Town. Facing the threat of an automated reincarnation processing system, how will the traditional Lethe Bar survive?
"Lord Yan (King of Hell), why exactly are we doing this?"
"It's my ultimate solution to pass the upcoming inspections!"
Gameplay: The Soul Bartender
Lethe Bar doesn’t serve alcohol; we only serve Meng Po Soup.
As Meng Po, your family's hereditary empathy allows you to see the flow of emotions in your customers.
The Flavors of Life: Use your Emotion Compass to analyze the current state of a soul. Is it regret? Joy? Or lingering resentment?
Brewing Memories: Based on the customer's needs (or your own mischievous whims), mix ingredients to create a soup tailored just for them.
Watch the Pot: Be careful! Mixing conflicting emotions might cause the pot to explode—and earn you a harsh complaint.
Features
A Cozy Narrative: Experience a story filled with modern corporate satire wrapped in classic mythology.
Unique Customers: Meet a cast of quirky souls, each with their own "bittersweet" life stories.
Hangout System: Invite souls you are interested in for a date. Explore the fantastical sights of Wangchuan Town and create new memories before they forget them forever.
