The spirit sent a letter
A girl who has lost her memory wakes up in a strange room, and a talking dog tells her they are gods responsible for responding to human pleas. Petitioners write down their encounters and seek help, and the letters become the player's way to engage with the outside world.
Rearrange the text
The puzzle centers on adjusting the order of the narrative in the letter. The same action, place, and object may lead to different outcomes under different sequences; Players read the new results to judge the role of the adjustments, then continue searching for feasible arrangements.
Interconnected lives
Letters include students, struggling artists, new police officers hoping to handle major cases, young women chasing their dreams, and even stray cats seeking food. Changing one person's situation can also affect other letters, so the success of a single letter does not guarantee an ideal ending for everyone.
The story of the girl herself
As the experiences of the outsiders unfold, the girl begins to recover memories of herself and her mission. The process of helping others thus runs parallel to the origin of the gods, requiring players to understand both the cause and effect in the letter and the recipient's situation.
Release
The PC version was released on June 6, 2017, produced by WMY Studio and published by PLAYISM. The work advances the story through text organization rather than direct manipulation of the sender's actions; reading itself is also a major part of the operation.
Students and teachers in Beijing
Li Wen is a senior at Yingnan High School, living alone after her parents divorced; His neighbor, Wen Xiangren, was once a painter and now teaches high school art. Her homeroom teacher and math teacher, Angelababy, has known Wen Xiangren since childhood. Kei, who is familiar with computers, transfers to the same school to get close to Li Wen, and returns to Hong Kong after graduation.
Letters from Hong Kong and Seoul
Carlos travels from Mexico to Hong Kong to find his sister Alicia, getting involved in the Black Dragon Gang; After escaping the Black Ship, her sister works at Maple Café, and Pi also comes to the shop to recover her memories. In Seoul, Zhang Jingmin serves as a police officer in Criminal Investigation Team Four, while Jiang Baiye previously worked in Criminal Investigation Unit Two; The story of the cat Dahuang begins with a letter from an animal.
Two versions of the 2026 update
Steam v1.7.0 added Korean, German, and Brazilian Portuguese on August 3, and revised English, some sound effects, and a dictionary. On August 23, the developers announced that the mobile version of YiDimension would open for pre-registration, with port adaptation still ongoing.
Branches of photography, retirement, and healing
Stone released photos of Li Wen and Wen Xiangren without authorization, causing the two to be caught up in rumors. Wen Xiangren resigned due to stomach cancer, and after learning about her condition from Angelababy, Li Wen chased after her. Subsequent letters reveal their whereabouts: the branch of accepting a confession and spending the rest of their lives with causes Li Wen to lose her lover; Bun Kai-jin's solo departure from the branch for treatment led to their reunion.
Falsely accused, imprisoned, and escaped with three others
Professional player Kei Zai was falsely accused of assaulting minors and was hunted by Pi, but after turning the situation around, Pi was arrested. Carlos, on the other hand, angers the gang leader by helping a leaf that is about to be sold, and is sent to prison. He was scammed out of money by Hotaru in prison, and later teamed up with her to devise an escape plan; The two exchange knowledge for Pi by taking Pi to escape together, and the three break out together.
Prototype record at the end of the PS4 version
Ci traced his background from a photo in a room, newspaper, and generator manual. The two prototypes are equipped with artificial intelligence modeled after the inventor's deceased children, and the rewriting of letters is also connected to generators. After one died, the record of attempts to change the outcome was recorded; The one that restores communication shows the long-term purpose of rewriting the past, letting the resignation first return to the past, and the ending reveals that only one person can return.
A review of the parallel design of plot and puzzles
In a 2018 seminar, Wang Miaoyi reviewed the original work, noting that the plot and puzzles were designed almost simultaneously, making the process overly complex. If it were remade, Wang Miaoyi would finish the plot first before tackling the puzzles. During development, we even went back to the beginning to make changes, then added gameplay, and after back-and-forth adjustments, the two gradually took shape.
Character openness and dictionary arrangement
The original work did not reveal all characters at the start; Wang Miaoyi hopes players will focus on the current story first. The dictionary is uniformly supplemented in the final stage, and in addition to vocabulary explanations, it also introduces Chinese cultural backgrounds such as the unified college entrance exam that overseas readers may not be familiar with.
