◈The game includes 2 romanceable characters, with endings covering 6 Bad Endings (BE) + 2 Happy Endings (HE). Each HE is followed by an epilogue chapter.
◈The game contains supernatural horror, death, blood, paranormal elements, and BL (Boys' Love) content (accounting for about 15%, with horror as the main focus). Please purchase as needed.
◈The game contains adult content such as suicide, self-harm, and extreme violence. Minors should not purchase it.
◈The values and ways of thinking conveyed in the game's plot are relatively subjective and personal, lacking rigorous reasoning and logic. Please purchase at your discretion.

发小组很好吃,诡秘你最喜欢的男鬼1。 单单作为恐游来说还是感觉差点意思,前期看确实是被突脸吓一跳,后面看就有些想笑了 中规中矩吧,看插画集确实是不赖
dear god. please... please play this game its actually so serious
I strongly recomend play the free demo, like if you like the demo, you probably would like the rest of the game. Personally, I would keep an eye open for any release from the developer ~ (If you ever translate Pi Yu An game also let us know! I know that it's not in the plans but i would love to read it too)
This is a BL Horror game that I stumbled upon while looking for a visual novel to play. I have to admit that I bought it without expecting much because of the game's relatively low price and the mixed reviews. But it turned out that the story was much more enjoyable than I expected! Both the illustrations and the characters themselves are beautifully drawn. I love the design of all the main characters. Even though it's a pity that the background uses real images, I understand because it fits quite well with the overall theme of the game. There are points I like where the story takes unexpected turns and characters have unpredictable experiences. In terms of the overall translation, it's quite good (there might be a few bits of Chinese slipping through). In summary, I like this game. It turned out really well. I hope you will translate PinYuAn Tales game into an English version too. PS. I don't know if you have plans for DLC or the next game, but I'm cheering for you!
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absolutely love this game as much as xia sixian's route ! thankyou and im looking forward to your next game >u<
暂时还没有全结局,只打了竹马线。先说优点:1.画风真的太完美了,当时就是被画风吸引过来的。2.故事流程虽然不是很长但是很完整,可以很流畅的玩下来。然后是缺点:感情线有点突兀了,不过好处就是如果想专心看本篇故事的话还不错,但是如果想看感情方面的真的有点短和突兀。但是总的来说还是值得入手的。
在陳熙的HE線感受到了一絲慰藉,自白也很寫實。 活著的人只能活著。 人都有自己的私心,看著以那種方式離開的人們永遠生活在我們心中。 因為不可能問心無愧,不可能見到逝者。才能以此感到慰藉。 學著有一天將我的幸福傳達給逝者,而不再僅有悲傷。 也喜歡在遊戲中慢慢解鎖主線外的CG,非常可愛又驚喜的設定。
嘿嘿好玩
全结局达成的来了 俩1待遇很不一样啊
