The Rainy Port Keelung is a historical visual novel that takes an unusually serious approach to a period of Taiwanese history rarely explored in video games. Developed and published by Erotes Studio, it begins in 1945 as World War II comes to an end and Taiwan emerges from decades of Japanese colonial rule. Instead of treating this transition merely as background information, the game builds its entire emotional identity around the uncertainty that followed, gradually carrying the story toward the turbulent events of 1947. One of the game's strongest qualities is the way large political changes are viewed through ordinary people. Soldiers from mainland China arrive through Keelung while Taiwanese residents face a new administration and an uncertain future. Initial optimism does not necessarily translate into the better life many expected. Cultural differences, competing identities, political tensions, and memories of Japanese rule become increasingly important. The result is a story concerned not only with history, but also with what nationality, home, family, and belonging mean when the society surrounding someone changes almost overnight. As a visual novel, the experience naturally places narrative ahead of conventional gameplay. Most of the player's time is spent reading dialogue, following character relationships, absorbing historical context, and watching events unfold. Anyone expecting exploration, combat, elaborate puzzles, or complex progression systems will find little of that here. Its appeal instead comes from atmosphere and storytelling. This slower format suits the subject because it gives characters enough room to react personally to political developments rather than reducing historical events to simple exposition. The progression toward 1947 gives the story an increasingly uneasy tone. The game makes it clear that the characters are living through a period whose consequences will become much larger than their individual problems. That knowledge creates tension even during quieter scenes. The personal stories and historical setting complement each other particularly well because the characters are not isolated from their surroundings. Their relationships and expectations are affected by the changing political and cultural environment, giving the narrative a sense of historical weight. The presentation uses anime-inspired character artwork alongside backgrounds and music designed to support its melancholy atmosphere. It may initially look like a conventional visual novel, but the subject matter is considerably heavier than the art style might suggest. The contrast gives the game a distinctive personality. Rather than presenting history through grand battles or famous political leaders, it focuses on people attempting to live ordinary lives during extraordinary circumstances. Accessibility remains one of its biggest weaknesses. The Steam version lists English interface support, but not English subtitles or English audio. Traditional Chinese receives interface, audio, and subtitle support, while Simplified Chinese is also supported to a different extent. Because this is an extremely text-dependent visual novel, the absence of complete English subtitle support is far more significant than it would be in an action game. English-only players may therefore have difficulty experiencing the narrative as intended. Technically, the game is extremely modest. Its Windows requirements are very low by modern standards, which is unsurprising given the visual novel presentation. It also includes features such as Steam Cloud, Trading Cards, developer commentary, and Family Sharing. These extras are welcome, particularly the commentary for players interested in learning more about the production and ideas surrounding such an unusual historical project. Steam Deck compatibility is currently listed as Unknown rather than Verified, Playable, or Unsupported. Its lightweight technical requirements suggest that raw performance should not be the primary concern, but there is no official Steam Deck compatibility rating confirming that every aspect works correctly. Players intending to use a Steam Deck should therefore treat it as an unverified experience and be prepared for possible compatibility, interface, text, or control issues. The Rainy Port Keelung ultimately succeeds because it has a strong sense of purpose. It is not simply using historical Taiwan as an exotic backdrop for an otherwise unrelated story. Its characters, themes, setting, and conflicts are tied directly to Taiwan's complicated postwar transition. That gives it an identity considerably stronger than many visual novels built around more familiar settings. It can even encourage players to learn more about the real history behind the events portrayed, although its fictionalized narrative should naturally not be treated as a replacement for historical research. Its limited interaction and substantial reading requirements mean it will not appeal to everyone, while the incomplete English localization creates a major barrier for international players. Yet for those able to understand its supported languages and interested in historically grounded storytelling, this is a thoughtful and memorable visual novel. Its exploration of cultural identity, political transition, human relationships, and historical trauma gives it emotional substance beyond its relatively simple mechanics. The Rainy Port Keelung is an ambitious historical visual novel whose greatest strengths are its uncommon Taiwanese setting, thoughtful themes, and human perspective on a difficult period. Its language limitations and unverified Steam Deck status restrict accessibility, but its distinctive subject and atmosphere make it worthwhile for players drawn to serious, history-focused narrative experiences. Rating: 8/10
Who am I - A question left for all Taiwanese tl;dr: An ADV which digs into the problem of identity of Taiwanese through 228 Massacre. Even not perfect but still sending out a clear message. Introduction In 2014, Sunflower Movement happened for rejecting pro-China trade deal made by Kuomintang (KMT) government. Students have been succeeded. Several months later, The Rainy Port Keelung has been released - an ADV which tried to memorize 228 Massacre done by KMT in 1947, at the same time kept questioning who Taiwanese are. By chance or by destiny, the game appeared in the year of turning point for Taiwan. Heronies To push Taiwanese to think about their identities, 3 heroines with different backgrounds have been made. Hayashi/Lin - TW-JP mixed. Self identified as Japanese. Ojousama. Though never gone to Japan, unlike you who has been sponsored to go to there due to good academic results. Being left in Taiwan by her father and owns Asuka House where you are living in. Hates KMT government and loves Japanese government in Taiwan even after WWII. Chang - Local Taiwanese. Childhood friend. Yandere. Being jealous to every women who try to get close with you. Runs a tea shop. Hates both KMT and Japanese government due to damage done to tea business. Chen - Republic of China (RoC) Chinese under KMT. Jaja Uma. Daughter of Officer of Keelung. Always thinks that Chinese culture is better than Taiwanese's. Even she follows her father to go Taiwan due to interest on puppet show. Even they have different backgrounds, they finally have their own feelings of Taiwan. Plot Mainly the story could be divided into three parts. Part 1 is 1945 after WWII . You would meet and separate with Chen who steps into your life which already having Hayashi and Chang. 3 heroines have their own stances which relate to their backgrounds. Hayashi hates unruled RoC soldiers and compares them with Japanese ones. She loves Japan even more due to how you benefited from Japanese education system, even she also knows that Taiwanese could not enjoy everything. Chen looks down of Taiwanese cultures and praises those from China. Same viewpoint on Taiwanese puppet show which she regards as messy. This comparison also makes her father separated she and you. Chang pouts about how both Chinese and Japanese limit tea business. Even with jealousy, Hayashi and Chen are also reasons for her hating Japanese and Chinese more. Part 2 is 1947 before 228 Massacre . You change heroines' mind and your own life. In Hayashi's route, she has PTSD due to lost of who is taking care of her. She somehow behaves more childish than part 1 and starts to forget things easily. Since you try to protect her house with local Taiwanese, and Chen makes friend with her, she starts to understand everyone in Taiwan. She surprisingly speaks the most complete sentences in local Taiwanese among 3 heroines. In Chen's route, she accepts Taiwanese puppet show and rearranges her performance into local ones. She protects Chang when Chang has been under attack and pays for Hayashi's house. She even speaks as a Taiwanese to protect you from her father who still could not accept Taiwanese. In Chang's route, she trades her own body with KMT cops at first to protect you away from them. Later on she revenges by killing them. This route relates fewer to other heroines and you and Chang finally know that you two should stay with each other. Part 3 is 228 Massacre . Due to civil war between KMT and Chinese Communist Party (CCP), even there are spies of CCP, many Taiwanese only want to protest against KMT taking away their properties and super inflation. It starts from Taipei and spreads to the whole country including Keelung. As a reference to history, this ADV provides none of good endings, not even a CG of kissing . The best ending is you escape from 228 with all your most important ones , but the story just ends there without too much follow up details. If you choose any of the heroines, the others would all be killed. Hayashi may end up be rxxed to death, Chen would be shot, and Chang would be choked - all done by your younger brother with soldiers as KMT agents who treat you as communist who leads the protests in Keelung. Even in their own routes, Hayashi survives but still after being rxxed. You two escape to Japan but she loses memories even quicker. . For Chen , you two escape through Hong Kong to France, and then go back to Keelung under white terror - similar place with cold atmosphere. And finally Chang , you two escape into a hill, separate and meet again even not sure rather it is reality or not. Summary This ADV is imperfect due to bug of voice, unmatched text and some disconnected scenes. Still, the message is clear due to how it always questions you about your identity, and shows you how heroines change their thoughts. Quite pity that it lacks translation, as we need an English version to let more people know why many Taiwanese want independence due to what they have been suffering. Ironically, KMT which used 228 Massacre in 1947 to clear "communists" now (Feb 2026) is being threatened by US Congress to keep national defence budget works. On the other hand, memorial of 228 Massacre which harmed lots of non-communist citizens have not been enough in 2014, but increased afterwards. Now finally Democratic Progress Party (DPP) government tries to involve more on this. The fight on identity of Taiwanese still is not ended. May this ADV keeps as a symbol on the process. May Taiwan stays as Taiwan forever.
