Pray to the matchmaker for a good marriage. Breathing jade waves in the wind,rising with lingering sentiments. Love is entwined like a red silk, hard to untie... Long time no see,are you still the same as before? Dreams and reality are as one. Who is a ghost, and who is not? Are you still you? "Paper Bride 4 Bound Love" is a Chinese horror puzzle game, the fourth work in the "Paper Bride" series. Welcome everyone to return to the world of Paper Bride. This time, let us uncover the secrets of Yichang Town together. We are trying to create a different experience for each paper bride. In the previous few works, we tried to deconstruct puzzle solving and folklore in different aspects (such as physical puzzle solving, burning paper for ourselves, etc.). And this work, we intend to go back to the basics, try a more traditional direction, and restore the feeling of old-fashioned classic folk movies. New works will continue to be upgraded: *Traditional Chinese folk culture upgrade - more Chinese folk culture and metaphysics, more paper puppets. *Art upgrade—the art department has a few new monsters (masters), and things like paper figurines will be even weirder. *Heartbeat upgrade——Different paper fans have different evaluations on the heartbeat speed of the previous game. Some people said it was more exciting, while others said "it's not as good as the previous one". So this time we dare not use too much force, just increase it by 0.01 times!No entrance for heart disease patients! Follow our official accounts for more information.
