"Under the shroud of the Snow Curtain Festival night, the dead transform into ghosts, returning to the mortal world." In a small town in the countryside, such a legend has been passed down since ancient times. Every year on December 31st,  the town celebrates the local custom, the Snow Curtain Festival. In order to witness a meteor shower that only occurs once every decade or so, a 17-year-old art student named Tianhai returns to his hometown on the day of the Snow Curtain Festival. However, on the night of the festival, a mysterious letter arrives in Tianhai's hands. "Come to the school building after eight o'clock tonight. The past concealed by the meteors awaits you here." Lost memories, an odd festival, and the night of the meteor shower...  Somehow, all these elements are intricately connected. But what truth awaits Tianhai? In this game, players will step into the shoes of high school student Tianhai,  running around the small town on the night of the Snow Curtain Festival,  to uncover the truth behind his lost memories. This narrative-driven exploration RPG includes a complete first chapter of the main storyline,  as well as the achievements of exploring 12 subplot stories.

Take the bench in Casebound: Judge Simulator, a story-driven courtroom game where every case tests your logic, judgment and conscience. You are the newest judge in a city that watches every ruling. Read case files, inspect crime scenes, study evidence, question witnesses and uncover contradictions before delivering a verdict. The law may point one way while public opinion, compassion and your own principles pull in another. INVESTIGATE EVERY CASE Each trial begins with a new mystery. Review briefs, police reports, testimony and physical evidence. Compare statements, identify missing details and decide which facts deserve your trust. A careless assumption can change a life and follow you throughout your career. QUESTION WITNESSES Choose how to approach defendants, witnesses and legal arguments. Press uncertain testimony, challenge contradictions and separate emotion from evidence. The right question may expose a lie, reveal a motive or completely change your understanding of the case. DELIVER VERDICTS AND SENTENCES Decide guilt or innocence, then choose a sentence when the law requires one. Consider the evidence, legal standards and human consequences behind every ruling. A technically correct judgment can damage public trust, while mercy can test your integrity. A 30-DAY JUDICIAL CAREER Shape your judge across a complete 30-day career. Start with smaller disputes and misdemeanors, then advance toward high-profile trials, appeals, ethical conflicts, AI-era crimes and cases the entire country is waiting to see resolved. FIVE ESCALATING CHAPTERS Progress through five chapters with rising pressure and increasingly complex decisions. New legal questions, social consequences and personal challenges force you to adapt as your reputation grows. EVERY CHOICE HAS CONSEQUENCES Your decisions influence public trust, courtroom control, stress and professional integrity. Mistakes can weaken your authority. Popular rulings may conflict with the law. Unpopular decisions may prove that you are willing to defend justice under pressure. BUILD YOUR JUDGE Customize your judge's name, robe and courtroom nameplate. Develop a judicial identity through your rulings. Become a strict defender of the letter of the law, a compassionate reformer, a trusted public figure or a feared authority. GRADED RULINGS Every completed case receives a grade from S to D based on your handling of the evidence, law and courtroom. Review your performance, learn from missed details and try different approaches in future careers. THE RECORD ROOM Every verdict is archived in your Record Room. Revisit previous cases, grades and major decisions to see the career you created and the moments that defined your legacy.
