Description from Steam STEAM
A Subtly Horror-Themed 3D Mystery Narrative Game Centered on Emotion and Memory You play as the protagonist, Ye Yuyao , who "accidentally" falls into a labyrinth of consciousness called the "Tai Xu" —a realm where reality and illusion intertwine. Here, you will revisit fragmented memories, uncover suppressed fears, and piece together a truth buried by time. Choices Within the Labyrinth of Consciousness The game unfolds in the enigmatic Tai Xu , a world driven by "Nian" —fragments of memory, obsession, and unresolved mysteries. These fragments manifest as endless staircases, distorted corridors, eerie rooms, and uncanny puppets that feel both familiar and alien. Through interactions with these "memories" and deductive reasoning, you must navigate this surreal maze, confront Yuyao’s inner fears, and uncover the hidden truth. A Rashomon-Style Web of Redemption Three years ago, a sudden illness and an anonymous organ donor entangled Yuyao and her former classmates in a complex emotional vortex. As memories gradually resurface, you will expose the hidden struggles behind their reunion—some guard secrets, others weave lies, and the truth grows increasingly elusive in their conflicting accounts. Multi-Dimensional Narrative Experience The game immerses players in suspense through environmental storytelling (via interplay of light and shadow), "non-fragmented" conversational clues , and stream-of-consciousness psychological hints. Throughout your exploration, you will face moral dilemmas: Will you insist on exposing carefully concealed acts of kindness, or respect the tenderness behind silence? Remember: Every choice leads to vastly different endings. The Lingering Warmth of the Fifth Ending The game features five narrative layers, five interpretations, and five endings . In Afterglow-The fifth ending, there are no black-and-white answers. Instead, it invites players to examine the cyclical relationship between "saving" and "being saved" through nuanced perspectives. When all lies fade, what remains may still not be the final answer—but an eternal reflection on sacrifice, growth, and letting go. Some warmth will endure, even in unexpected ways.
