Here’s a rundown on the game:

Story

Yet again, Yang Mingyuan awakens from a nightmare with a start; gripped by an unshakable sense of terror. Upon closing his eyes, the same scene plays, as if projected upon the insides of his eyelids—a rotten old mansion, a gloomy hall of mourning, ethereal shadows, and eerie paper dolls. It plays repeatedly, relentlessly. He hears a voice calling him, a murmur urging him forth, and yet he cannot make out exactly what it says.
Yang Mingyuan watches the setting sun through the window, painting the sky red. He puts this all down to work stress and his other worries.
“Just take it one day at a time…”, he tells himself.
He picks up his jacket and car keys, and tells his daughter to pack for the journey.
That’s right, she’s going back to her mother’s place today.
About to close the door, he sees the box of medicine on the table and hesitates for a short moment.
“Those blasted dreams must be some side effect of the medicine. “I’ll toss the whole lot out, and get myself a new doctor!”, he decides, before slamming the door shut.
As the highway lights fade into streaks as they speed by, the light starts to dazzle him, and that’s when the familiar voice returns.
His daughter seems to be saying something, but even sat right beside him, he can’t hear a thing: it’s as if they were miles apart.
What… What do you want!? Out with it!”, he roars hysterically.
Dimly ahead there’s a light flashing, and a loud bang follows, and then utter silence…
“This is…” When Yang Mingyuan comes to, he finds himself at an old and abandoned mansion. It is familiar yet alien to him, like a half-forgotten dream. The faint call of his daughter pulls him out of his daze, and he manages to rise up, albeit with considerable effort. He follows her voice into the deep darkness. What secrets do the mysteries within hold? The truth shall be unraveled, one piece at a time…

The Old Yin Mansion

In Beijing’s western suburbs lies a mansion upon a wooded mountain. At the end of the Qing dynasty it belonged to the Yin family; the master of which was born into aristocracy, attaining great success as a youth and was highly valued by the imperial court. Leading an army, he pacified the lands far and wide, and would later marry a woman of similar social standing. Yet, their good fortune was to be short lived. When power over the imperial court shifted, Master Yin fell into a deep depression, and decided to live in seclusion.

Thus, he chose a patch of land with suitable feng shui, with both mountains and rivers, and built his mansion. The only ones accompanying him were his personal attendants and two disciples. One of which was the erudite scholar Mr. Liu, the other Zhao, an expert painter. While his life was markedly more lonely than before, it was peaceful. Master Yin had wanted a son for many long years, and finally, the Mistress became pregnant. Yet, this created ripples much like a stone upon a still pond. Terrible rumors were spread, stirring the hearts of those in the mansion, and a series of tragedies came to pass…

A heavy rainstorm fell upon the land, continuing for several months. Having cleared up, the mansion had simply disappeared from existence, its inhabitants vanishing from memory, together with their secrets…
