You will play the part of Zhu Chaoyang, experience an unimaginable nightmare for ordinary junior-high students, and face the deep fear in your heart. Deteriorated family, false friendship, greedy and selfish human nature, the game shows the coldness and cruelty of the adult world incisively and vividly from the perspective of a child. Can Zhu Chaoyang remain in innocent and kind after being soaked in darkness? You will uncover the ending by your own.(Storyline via IGDB)
