Should you play it?

A strange letter came to the girl's hand, pointing to a vicious robbery and murder in Qinshan Port City more than a decade ago. Li Meiyuan, a 17-year-old female high school student, lives in depression and delusion all the time. She almost excludes everything around her.

Things to keep in mind

  • Technical bugs and ui limitations inherited from original platform
  • Controversial character portrayals and some player discomfort with themes

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.

  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).
