Bookstores and cities
The used bookstore Yoriyuki Sumi is located in the urban new capital. The owner and those around them come across unusual information through seemingly ordinary visits and conversations, gradually realizing that each event is not isolated; everyday spaces can also become entry points for investigation.
Conversation strategy
When dealing with people with different personalities, it's important to choose the right way to speak. The value of dialogue lies in obtaining information that advances the investigation; it cannot be seen merely as a means to get closer to the character.
Clues and arguments
Intelligence sources include conversations, television, and online forums. Players combine the information they have gathered with doubts to organize arguments that can explain the events; The results of the survey therefore depend on whether the right connections are made, not just on how many pieces of information are collected.
Forms of works
Produced by Arrowiz, this work advances a suspense story through a textual adventure. Character positions, dialogues, and information compilation together form the game loop, with the abnormal background gradually revealing itself in the city's daily life.
Music
Original soundtrack produced by Vanguard Sound, credited to RabbitJ and Haloweak. The music collection includes game BGM and a theme concept song, with a total of nineteen tracks.
Dreams, surveillance, and Landinggrass
Ling Xian visits the bookstore to clear his dream, mentioning the chaos at the scenic beach and the scene of Zhu Wei lying in the studio. The store manager discovers that the sinkhole news matches her dream and asks Shenhong to obtain the road surveillance footage. Ling Xian then explained that Zhu Wei invited her to regularly use Landing Grass, and that the special dream began during the sedation period after using incense; The manager advised her to stop using it for a while.
The Yucai Cup and the senior's manipulation
Shen Hong infiltrated Huanghua Middle School and discovered that former president Li Lilin had entered Zhu Wei's paintings in a competition under her own name. After Zhu Wei reported the painting, the painting was taken down, but Li Lilin was not punished accordingly; The two clashed in the studio, and Zhu Wei was pushed down the stairs. Zhu Wei, who succeeded as president, later used Landing Grass to gather members and arranged for Ling Xian to be bullied, hoping to force her to rebel and rely on her. After hearing the investigation conclusions, Ling Xian's previous trust was shaken.
Excessive incense behind the locker
While cleaning up the studio, Ling Xian was pushed into a locker by classmates and lost consciousness due to claustrophobia. After waking up, Zhu Wei lit five stalks of lantern grass at once, allowing the two to delve into the phantom of the past. The price of spying is being targeted by scaled silkworms; The shop manager judged from the connection between Landinggrass and the ancient texts of Wax Gate Powder that the hunt had already affected both of them.
Protection and reconciliation in the third-floor warehouse
The manager obtained a soothing melody from the "Heqi Guan Zhi" to appease the scaled silkworms, sealed off the corner of the third-floor warehouse wall, leaving only an entrance, and drew formation patterns on the ground. After Zhu Wei lures the hounds with incense, she falls unconscious. Ling Xian protects her while repairing the formation patterns. After losing the marker, Ling Xian carved the formation patterns onto the pencil and continued to resist, holding out until the chanting recording ended, after which the two escaped the chase and forgave each other.
Chapter Six: The Christmas Ceremony
To resurrect his wife, the book giver makes a deal with the evil god, preparing to sacrifice the entire city at Christmas midnight. After learning the timing, the store manager and others rushed to produce a game with the same name within a month, using bookmarks, the internet, radio, and other channels to promote the Midnight event. When Yog Sotos's vision appeared, the citizens treated it as a projection and game promotion, failing to generate the fear needed for the ritual, thus blocking the transaction.
