We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

tuffest game i have played it actually got me into some taiwanese history and taught me about the white terror, loved how i could piece together the story throughout the game. i have been wanting to purchase this game for over a year after seeing a youtube video on it and finally got my hands on it
,很有意义，我个人觉得有些挺吓人（好玩,,
Easily one of my top five favourite games of all time. It's haunting yet beautiful in a somber sort of way and an emotional (and chilling) journey from start to finish.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 16: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Ｇood to let people know Taiwan's history about 戒嚴.
This is a great game. Subtle, melancholic, very deep and yes, political. The history of government repression in 1960s Taiwan is wonderfully portrayed, and the same goes for the feelings of loss of a teenage student navigating a difficult moment in the country. Highly recommended.
This one will stay with me for a while. Its atmosphere is truly flawless. Its themes are hyper-relevant, and an accurate historical retelling. I cannot recommend it enough, it's clear it was created with so much care, and left me feeling genuinely heavy.
時代創造人，人造就時代。 時代讓人成為人，也讓人不再是人。 究竟何對和錯，孰是孰非， 愛恨嗔癡，人永遠逃不出自己創下的因果。
Went into this without knowing much about it and ended up really enjoying it. The art style is honestly one of the best parts of the game. It looks unique, fits the atmosphere perfectly, and makes everything feel really unsettling. The story kept me interested all the way through, and I liked that it focused more on being creepy than throwing jump scares at you. Definitely worth playing if you're into horror games.
