Sept. 2025
This game is designed for adults. It is not always what it seems on the surface, but it is definitely a reality check for those with naive notions of life. So far (of what I've seen) the negative reviews are objectively wrong, and subjectively shallow. If you cannot handle the depth of the human condition, please move on to more superficial and enjoyable subjects. It is a serious VN. You may get emotionally invested in the characters if you make it to the endings; stay hydrated. It isn't long, the English translation is a 9.5/10 for immersion purposes, and it's a story that resonates. If you like VN's that give you some choices that lead to failure, but focus on a more linear story with a few distinct endings, this is it. A piece of art worth it at full price; on sale it is a must buy. The value of this game increases the more hardship and life you have experienced.

I was very excited to play this game and am now quite impressed by it! The music is absolutely immaculate and the art is gorgeous too. I love the ancient setting and the story does an amazing job at being very intense and thrilling, while showing the endless desperation during the helpless situation that is inspired by real events. It's definitely gross and unsettling, the way some scenes are presented actually made me feel anxious lol. I'd say the plot isn't necessarily unique but there are still decent twists and the atmosphere alone made me highly invested in the story. Funny thing is that I managed to enjoy the game while literally despising every character, except for Qiong Hua and Sui's father (and MAYBE Kite). I guess besides that the only things I disliked are some questionable dialogues/suggestions that have been mentioned a lot in the negative reviews (though I hope that it's done on purpose to represent the normalized mindset of that time) and also the ending(s) kind of.. The ending itself technicially isn't bad but personally I just generally find the whole revenge & redemption trope lame in media, hence it's purely based on my preference. Overall the game felt pretty epic and it'll likely stay on my mind for the next few days lol.

"While I became a wandering villain drifting with the tide, she became a vengeful spirit bent on revenge." A grim tale about revenge & redemption. Be warned it can get very brutal but it's necessary to really portray that time period. It's got a compelling and emotional story, beautiful art and music, multiple endings, voice acting...contrary to the price this feels like a high quality visual novel. I finished my first route in about 10hrs but went back and did alternate choices. The themes it delves into are very dark. Definitely not for the faint of heart but it really makes you put things in perspective and be grateful for what you have (and the time period you live in).

I... I don't know how to convey this but... I must say this game is absolutely great. The story is cautivating, the sounds, music and specially the V.A. I don't regret buying this game, even though critics are saying that the English translation of this game is a little bit scuffed, for me personally, I felt they did a pretty good job translating although some parts at the end (endings and conclusions) may need some improvements and also some dialogues don't appear in the dialogue box but it's understandable just so the text makes sense, afterall, english and chinese are different in all ways, they don't even come from the same indo family tree (Coming from someone who speaks Chinese as mother tongue), nevertheless, the translation is PRETTY darn good. Now, getting deeper into the story part, it is a pretty good story, nothing more to say, although the endings weren't what I would've wanted, they've left a good taste in my mouth, and I'm not asking for more. I'm quite saddened at the fact that this visual novel is basically unknown outside China, the world must know and give it its proper recognition. And to basically sum everything up. This is ABSOLUTE PEAK. And that's basically it, if anyone's reading this and haven't bought or haven't played it yet, you guys should, this game won't disappoint you.
