A summer romance built around an urban legend
You play Gu Wei, a plain student whose luck finally turns: a club invite, a capable friend, and a girlfriend, the cute and independent Su Banxia. The early chapters are sweet and chatty, full of club talk and internet jokes, as you and Banxia chase the rumor to Chanling Road 33.
Then she disappears. You keep reading because the questions pile up: the suspicious livestream, the ruined apartment block, the body that should not be there. The romance carries the mystery, and the mystery tests the romance.
Choices, endings, and what stories can do
Words have power here. Once a story is told and retold by thousands, the false becomes real, and that idea drives both the horror and the tenderness. You make choices that branch toward six normal ends and one true end, with saves letting you loop back for the rest.
Expect folklore, online rumors, strange beings in the city's shadows, and a plot that keeps adding terms like the firm, the origin, and the wager. Some threads point toward sequels rather than closing neatly, which suits visual novel readers who enjoy piecing together a larger series puzzle.
What should you know before reading?
How long is it and how do the endings work?
It is a short visual novel, roughly six to seven hours for one path. Keep a few saves and you can collect the rest without much backtracking.
What kind of horror is it?
Urban-legend horror more than gore: creepy livestreams, rumors that spread online, an abandoned building, and unseen things hiding behind lies. The mood turns tense and strange, but the focus stays on Gu Wei and Banxia rather than survival or combat.
Does the romance stay central?
Yes. The investigation starts as something the couple does together, and the later reveals reframe what their months together meant. The story divides players on those twists, so go in ready for melodrama, sacrifice, and a bittersweet true end.
Is the presentation easy to follow?
Mostly. There is full Chinese voice acting, detailed character art and CGs, plus phone chats and livestream screens mixed into the reading. A built-in tips system explains memes and setting terms, though it can over-explain when you just want the plot to move.
