I've mixed feelings about this one. As a horror fan, I appreciate the storytelling and how well it's intertwined with Vietnamese culture and folklore, which I admittedly know very little about. The story unfolds little by little, as you progress through the game. An intricate story of which you only get the whole picture as you go on playing - much like some Asian horror movies unfold. The gameplay, on the other hand, is quite familiar if you've played enough horror games. Find items, solve a few puzzles, deal with some enemies - as you do so, the story progresses and you get more pieces of the full story. It can get a bit tiresome at times. In particular, the part where you have to deal with the father several times. To the devs: a 10s cut scene of you being stabbed might be excessive and annoying if you die a lot. Consider allowing to skip after you die one time. It's annoying as it is sneaking past the father. In all, I've mixed feelings because I appreciate the story, while the game itself can be repetitive and a bit annoying.

We not making it out of the dream on this one 🔥🔥 A horror game not overusing jumpscares every single minute. Honestly it could be confusing jumping into this game when you’re not familiar with culture around death in South East Asians countries. But trust me it is a worth while experience in story telling, as a bonus you get to know how different western and eastern urban legends are from each other. Might as well say some things in Vietnamese while I’m at it Giọng chú Nguyễn Ngọc Ngạn trên nền nhạc lofi cực chill. Thực sự đây là một sản phẩm mà mình thấy là đáng được vào danh sách 1 trong những tựa game hay nhất được làm tại Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên nó cũng có vài khuyết điểm như mọi con game khác thôi. Nếu game muốn mở rộng đến thị trường phương Tây hơn thì mình nghĩ nên có một vài thứ nên được chỉnh sửa lại. Chẳng hạng trên phân đoạn Nối từ sau khi bị kéo vào ác mộng thì cơ chế này rất khó để người chơi nước ngoài có thể làm quen vì đây là điều mà chỉ có ngôn ngữ Việt của chúng ta làm được. Và nếu có thể thì mình cũng nên có một trang thông tin giải thích tất tần tật về những yếu tố quan trọng của game (vì lí do kể trên mỗi nơi có một văn hóa riêng nên mình nghĩ nếu có một nơi để kể về văn hóa của mình nó sẽ rất là thú vị, nhỉ?). Mình chỉ nói về hai thứ chính mình để ý thôi chứ mình liệt kê hết thì chắc ngồi viết cả ngày mất :v But most importantly, have fun!

Absolutely amazing. As a Vietnamese myself, the game is not only relatable, but it offers a wonderful storyline that is easy to follow and is prominent in many families. It's tragic and it feels like a mystery you're solving as you continue to play. This game, although is in Early Access, feels like a completed game. The graphics, story, stage designs, all feel amazing. Please take the time to play this game.

I have finished the Early Access content. Here are some of my thoughts: 1. The storyline is quite engaging and interesting, but predictable (and the predictability here is a strength). It’s engaging and interesting because the story is told through "short ghost stories on the radio," from the perspectives of various characters. The "predictability" comes from the fact that after carefully listening to the short stories on the radio, I was almost able to piece together the complete narrative. Regardless of whether I guessed correctly or not, this was quite a solid experience, as it prevents players from feeling too overwhelmed by overly complex plots. 2. The graphics are decent compared to the overall standard. While it’s not exactly smooth or dazzling, the color tones in the game are haunting enough. The architectural and object details fit the cultural backdrop of both old and modern Vietnam. 3. The sound is decent, nothing outstanding yet, but the 00:00 track at the beginning of the game is really haunting and impressive. Another plus is that the character dialogues feel very realistic, casual, and "raw," reflecting elements of real life. It made me feel both comfortable, as I was immersed in an everyday atmosphere despite playing a game, and haunted when I imagined that the world around me could be just as terrifying
