Games like Sanfu

Still thinking about Sanfu and its mysterious and hand-drawn tone? These games keep things close enough to feel familiar.

Firework
A funeral fire reopens a massacre case in a remote Chinese mountain village, and rookie cop Lin Lixun is pulled into the investigation. A horror puzzle game with no jump scares and barely a ghost in sight, where the dread comes from what people do to each other. Short, hand-drawn and quietly devastating.
