About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
In the 1990s, there was a small, isolated mining town named "Lingshan Town", where the cold winds blow all year round and the economy relies on an aging coal mine that is gradually depleting. Most of the residents in the town are descendants of miners, and most people in the town believe in the "Mountain God Stele". However, recently, the Mountain God Stele has suddenly fallen ill. Cracks have appeared on the stele, and brown liquid is seeping out from the cracks. At the same time, a strange illness has mysteriously spread in the town. The cause of the illness is unknown, and the number of people falling ill is increasing. After learning that his father was ill, Lin Tianqing hurried back to the town. The whispers he heard on the bus gave him an ominous feeling. Looking out the window at Lingshan Town, which was getting closer and closer and exuding a strange aura, he wondered what else would happen in the town next.
"Eating the mountain" town, "silent" patient, "anger" of the mountain god
What "dirty" and "stupid" secrets will the truth reveal?
Is the worship of superstition a "redemption" for people or a deliberate "concealment"?
Everything awaits you to dispel the fog, break the silence, and reveal the truth.
You will experience
In the 1990s, a northern town that relied on coal mines for its existence and development immersed itself in solving mysteries to drive the story forward
The light and dark storylines of the present and past timelines are gradually unveiling the truth
