Each choice in the game affects the story's development, leading to multiple different endings and providing players with a richer gaming experience. Whether the residents are alive or dead, and whether the protagonist Sing Lei can uncover the truth and overcome the difficulties, all depends on the player.

### 4/5 — It a good game

*2026-06-17, version 1.6.7*

Tho game is criminaly underrated it needs more attention!

### 5/5 — おもしろい

*2026-05-25*

サクサク進められて良いです。日本語訳はありますが、広東語で聞けるので、香港の雰囲気が感じられてとても良いです。CGも綺麗で、香港の生活が垣間見えるのも良い。
どうやら前半？しか日本語訳されていないようなので、是非後半も訳してほしいです！

### 5/5 — how to unlock other ending

*2025-08-29, version 1.6.7*

please help me how to unlock other ending?

### 2/5 — 広告を見ないと次の章に進めない。

*2025-06-26*

かなり音も振動もしっかりついてて無料のホラゲーとしてはクオリティは十分だと思います。しかし次の章に進むのには確実に広告を2つ見なければありません。
最初は翡翠が20個配布されてて、そっからは広告を見て翡翠を獲得しなければありません、もちろん課金もありますが価格が高いのでオススメは出来ません。次の章に進むには翡翠が10個必要で1回の広告につき貰える翡翠は5個、1日に見れる広告の回数は10回なので1日5章ずつしか進むことができません。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい作品

*2025-05-25*

まるで香港映画見てるようにとても面白かったです。日本語字幕はないのが残念ですが。

### 5/5 — 撑硬你地啊

### 5/5 — 六十多个广告 刷了我一个晚上

*2025-04-14*

一个广告1分钟 一个广告才五个玉 有没有搞错要我集齐310多个玉石 才让我继续游戏
充钱又s贵的 又没有美元 不要玩 不要玩 不要玩！

### 5/5 — 支持香港本土創作

*2025-04-09, version 1.3.6*
