About the game
This is a 3D puzzle title steeped in horror drawn from Chinese folklore, with an optional two-player co-op mode. It weaves in local cultural elements — funeral rites from the Wu-Yue area, ghost operas and Mulian operas, and the duomin, communities historically treated as outcasts. Developed by Shanyu Studio (山雨工作室) and published by Pilot Games, planned for 2026.
Did you know?
It's unusual for a horror game to weave in specific regional Chinese folklore this directly — funeral customs tied to the Wu-Yue area and the duomin communities — rather than relying on generic horror tropes.

Are keys from these stores legal?
Buying is legal — keys come from the grey market, so a small deactivation risk exists. So before paying, check the seller's buyer protection.

What is an activation platform?
The service where the key activates — Steam, GOG, Epic or the publisher's platform. A key for one platform won't work on another, hence the separate filter.

Standard is the base game; Deluxe usually adds an expansion or bonus content. The edition filter shows exactly that variant, with no mixed prices.
