You play as Yu Xiao, a freelance artist scraping by on commissions after losing your job. Clients keep sending revision after revision. Your mother calls to deliver her habitual put-downs. And you — prone to spiraling thoughts rooted in your family — can't help but spiral. Every late night, when the room falls so silent you can hear the hum of your computer fan, another voice speaks to Yu Xiao. It says: "You're enduring it again." It says: "Do you really think all of this is just coincidence?" It says: "If you keep going like this, you'll forget how to paint. And then — what will you have left?" Yu Xiao has become a fish stranded on shore, needing an external anchor to escape the predicament. And just then, three hands reach out. Every choice you make shapes the story's direction and determines who you grow close to — potentially leading to romantic relationships. But as your mental state deteriorates and deeper differences surface, the path ahead grows complicated. Can you hold onto yourself and reach a fulfilling ending?
