About the Game

◈Total storyline features approximately 100,000 words of text, nearly 40 exquisite CGs, and offers 2–5 hours of gameplay.

◈The game includes 2 romanceable characters, with endings covering 6 Bad Endings (BE) + 2 Happy Endings (HE). Each HE is followed by an epilogue chapter.

◈The game contains supernatural horror, death, blood, paranormal elements, and BL (Boys' Love) content (accounting for about 15%, with horror as the main focus). Please purchase as needed.

The game contains adult content such as suicide, self-harm, and extreme violence. Minors should not purchase it.

◈The values and ways of thinking conveyed in the game's plot are relatively subjective and personal, lacking rigorous reasoning and logic. Please purchase at your discretion.

◈This work shares the same worldview as the previous title " PinYuAn Tales" but is set in a different timeline. The two protagonists from the previous game will make guest appearances here. This is a standalone work—no need to play the previous game to enjoy it.
