Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this nostalgic, atmospheric walking simulator, though many note missing translations and fast-advancing subtitles.

Many players describe the game as a nostalgic, dreamlike walk through 1990s and early 2000s neighbourhoods, schools and shops, and several say it stirred real childhood memories, even for those who did not grow up in China. Players enjoy the liminal, backrooms-style detours, the detailed models and textures, the ability to change time of day and weather, and the ambient music. The most common complaints are that much of the text is untranslated or still in Chinese, that dialogue and subtitles advance too quickly to read, and that there is no separate volume control for sound effects, which can drown out the music. Some reviewers find the ending missing, the story unnecessary, or the level of interaction thin for a walking simulator. A few reported bugs and a broken save that left them in an empty map.

Praised

  • Nostalgic atmosphere

    Players say the neighbourhoods, schools and everyday objects of the period bring back their own childhood memories.

    Many players
  • Liminal and backrooms-style areas

    Players enjoy the surreal, empty spaces and dream locations that break from the realistic streets.

    Many players
  • Visuals and detail

    Players praise the detailed models, textures and lighting, and say the game runs smoothly on high settings.

    Many players
  • Adjustable time and weather

    Players like being able to change time of day, weather and filters to shape how each place feels.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Untranslated text

    Players say much of the in-game text, achievements and TV content is still in Chinese, so they had to rely on guessing or translation tools.

    Many players
  • Subtitles advance too fast

    Reviewers say dialogue and subtitles change before they can be read, and they ask for a press-to-continue option.

    Many players
  • Sound levels cannot be adjusted

    Players want separate volume control for environmental sounds and music, as ambient noise can drown out the background music.

    Some players
  • Thin gameplay and no ending

    Players find the interaction limited and the story unnecessary, and note that the game has no clear ending.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy slow walking simulators, liminal spaces and nostalgia for 1990s and 2000s childhoods, and who can cope with reading text in Chinese.
Who should skip it
Should skip it if you want clear objectives, a satisfying ending or heavy interaction, or if you cannot read Chinese and dislike fast-moving subtitles.
