A lurker returning from studying abroad
The introduction to the work shop begins with Xiao Tu's own background: he was once a patriotic student in Shanghai, and after being arrested, his teacher arranged for him to study in Japan; Two years later, he returned to China, where his teachers and organization decided to let him enter the enemy's ranks. Players must take on the role of this undercover agent during the wartime era, navigating between different factions while balancing identity security, intelligence missions, and personal loyalty.
Choices and the cost
Every choice can change the characters' fate and the direction of the plot. The work features hundreds of branching storylines and four different endings; Loyalty and filial piety, faith, love and hate, and mission goals often collide in dilemmas. Relationships between characters and task advancement present the pressure of undercover work.
Chapter structure and interactive film and television
