About the Game

INSPECTOR H.G.W. is a pixel-style action RPG. You will play as Huang Guiwei, venturing into the mysterious "Washing Machine" realm in a modern city setting to regain your divine powers and find your missing friend.

This game uses machine translation for all languages other than Chinese. If there are any translation errors or awkward phrasing, I sincerely apologize and appreciate your understanding.

Story Background
(The story is fictional and unrelated to real people or events)

In college, Huang Guiwei used his supernatural abilities to help others and was known as the "Inspector" at school. But after an unexplained supernatural event—the disappearance of his friend "Fish" and the "Washing Machine" spirit—he was filled with guilt, lost all his powers, and became an ordinary person.

Five years later, after reuniting with a college classmate, the hiding place of the "Washing Machine" spirit has been found. Can you recover your friend, restore your powers, and make up for past regrets? Even if you do, some things may never return to how they were.

Core Gameplay

  • Exploration & Interaction: Freely explore real residential buildings and the "Washing Machine" realm, talk to different characters, and advance the story.

  • Growth & Combat: Gain "Dream Sources" through story progression and exploration to activate divine skills. Use your reflexes and insight to defeat various monsters with different forms and abilities.
