追曙ZhuiShu is a horror narrative puzzle game set in Southeast Asia, weaving together elements of traditional Chinese folklore.

A buried death. Two interwoven fates.

Story Synopsis

Yang Fan, a righteous police officer, receives a cryptic radio distress call during his night shift: "...the mountains...save the children..." The signal originates from an abandoned apartment building - official records show it was the site of a young girl's suicide years ago.

Jiang Yufei, an ordinary teacher, gets drawn into the mystery after her student's inexplicable death. Each clue she uncovers pulls her deeper into a dangerous truth no one dares confront.

When their fates intersect across time, they must confront a cruel truth—death is not the end, but the beginning of a greater conspiracy.

Gameplay
