Beautiful art and story. I love Chinese mythology and this game uses it very well. The rewind mechanic is good, but I wish we could skip the cutscenes completely when we restart. I highly recommend it if you love puzzle.

A unique adventure game about Chinese mythology. Deep and emotional, nice atmosphere, very captivating. Definitely a must-play if you like the genre. 10/10

ehhh it was alright Im always a fan of time rewind mechanic in games, which was executed quite well IMO The story was interesting, but a bit slow at the start The setting was also cool, DLC was good too BUT When you restart from a checkpoint the cutscenes arent skippable, having to recollect the memory things was also eh Either I missed something or some of the puzzles were explained poorly (got stuck on the scale one for way too long because I didnt realize the heavy one goes 5/10/15/20 instead of linear, which is mb tbh) Sometimes its not quite as apparent that you can walk somewhere when outside? Some areas exist just for the flower collectible Shift could have been sprint instead of a slow walk toggle Go for it if you are into the time gimmick, otherwise id give this a pass

A very well made game with very interesting rewind mechanics but the main focus on the game is the narrative and they made it very good as well, I can't wait for the next game from this awesome developer!

很热门的游戏。通关了。美术风格满喜欢，但对于多年游戏经验的我来说，并没有什么新鲜感，但支持国产，给个好评。做游戏太不容易了。
