About the Game

Trick Eight is a narrative-driven mystery and deduction game blending New Chinese Style with Neo-orthodox storytelling.

You will play as two intertwined roles, investigating a series of serial murders on an isolated village, gradually uncovering the chilling truth hidden behind the faith.

"Eight is division. All things named by the eight stem from separation."

Heaven and Earth are governed by the Eight Trigrams, yet mankind dares to divine fate through the number. 

On a remote, isolated village, a century-old blood ritual continues without end.

Generations of zealous followers uphold a legacy steeped in sacrifice.

 

As outsiders begin to vanish mysteriously, fate draws two girls together:

A gambler detective, and a lone survivor who once escaped a sacrificial fate.

Together, they must uncover the truth hidden beneath the veil of tradition and folklore.

 

Who seeks to play god?

Who dares to defy the boundaries of science?

And when the so-called truth rises to the surface...

Will you still have the courage to reveal it to the world?

Solve intriguing puzzles through a series of dynamic comic-style scenes, each frame uniquely styled and brimming with creativity.

Experience a realistic deduction system inspired by classical logic - use intuition and reasoning to unravel cases that once seemed airtight.

Classic comic-style expressions come vividly to life - immerse yourself in a deeply engaging visual novel experience.

Forge bonds, break illusions, and navigate a cast of characters whose desires collide unpredictably.

Uncover the hidden truths behind every mask and motive.
