BeiHai 2010 is an emotional point-and-click adventure about youth, love, and the journey of growing up. Dive into the memories of Namo, who, after years abroad, receives a wedding invitation from her old school friend Shannon. This unexpected message sends her spiraling back to her youth in the Chinese city of Beihai.
Experience a touching story of friendship, first love, and the bittersweet challenges of coming of age. Accompany Namo on her journey through the past and present, encountering people who shaped her life: Lanshi, her first great love, Shannon, her closest friend, and Duchuan, the quiet companion who was always by her side.

Color and Sound Aesthetics: Each character is represented by a unique color, and the emotional soundtrack evolves a recurring melody to match the scene's mood.
Atmospheric Storytelling: Experience intimate everyday moments like lighting a cigarette in the dark, opening a mailbox on a rainy evening, or dancing to melancholic music.
A Personal Story
BeiHai 2010 is inspired by the real-life experiences of its creator, and tells of the naive dreams and bittersweet memories of youth. It is an interactive love letter to a bygone era, an emotional journey showing how the choices of our youth shape who we become.
