About the Game

This game supports 4-player online cooperative play. Players take on the role of Taoist disciples inheriting orthodox magical arts, venturing together into supernatural scenes cursed by dark forces. They must cooperate with teammates to divide tasks, use traditional magical instruments such as talismans and Bagua mirrors, complete exorcism rituals, collect key items, and find a way to survive in the struggle against evil spirits.

The gameplay focuses on cooperative exploration, psychological warfare, and survival escape. Players must always be alert to supernatural signs in the environment, properly allocate resources and skills, and avoid being detected by wandering wraiths. The game features supernatural phenomena such as ghostly labyrinths (a classic Chinese paranormal trope). Players can collect talismans with different effects, with core mechanics designed around Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Eight Characters Numerology, and Talisman Formations.

Unlike Western horror that relies on visual shock, this game creates immersive fear through oppressive atmosphere, psychological suggestion, and the ritualistic sense of Eastern occultism.
