A well-acted, gripping Chinese FMV drama based on real events, with a story that hits hard. Skip it if you hate paying for the second half as DLC or replaying chapters to fix relationship stats.
Great for
Fans of interactive movies and story-driven choice games who want a dark drama based on true events
Main risk
Base game ends mid-story, requiring a DLC purchase, and hidden relationship checks can force tedious replays

“It's very easy to go back and try another choice with its built-in storyline flowchart, so you don't have to start from the begining each time. And there's a skip scene button for already watched scenes”
