Spoiler Alert!!!

This is a complete guide including almost everything. So if you have any problems of completing the game or the collection or the achievement, just check this guide! You can finish the game in 3 hours if you follow step by step.

Background

If you want to seek it out by yourself, you can skip this part.

The game tells a tragedy happened in a oldsyle apartment from 1980 to 1986 in Taiwan. Mr. Du, the protagonist, is a writer and his wife Li Fang is a singer. And they have a little girl called Meishin. Meishin, the poor girl, is seriously sicked, and his father affected by a small group of cult, drown his daughter into liquor of medical herb by which he believe Meishin can be cured.

Further more, through a poster in the game, we can infer that the group of cult is the CCP in real world. And of this reason, I think it deserves the best terror game title in this century, it is not only against the ignorant and cult but also the terrorism of CCP, from which Taiwan suffer a lot under totalitarian. Art could not be separated form politics, especially in our time when it is often utilized for a political purpose. For more details, please check it on the Internet, and enough of this, lets come back to the story itself and let the analyze of metaphor alone.

Map

The map is very simple, the main area is the apartment where Du`s family lived. So the layout of their home is the first thing that should be familiar with. When you see something like ‘ go to the kitchen ‘ in this guide,you must be ware of where it is. As shown above, I have draw it down with the Inkspace.

When you enter the gate, you can see the TV and sofa and tea table etc. in the living room, also you can see the kitchen`s door. The writing table is also here, which indicates that this is the place for multi-use, both entertainment and working. Also, something odd will be appear in this place like a X-ray.

The kitchen is next to at end of the living room, where Li cooked her family`s dinner.

The area covered by the gray is corridor.

And the Meishins room is locked at first. Before Meishins born, Du used to put his book in the room.

The toilet is always be locked. It cannot be opened until something specific time. This is the place where Du drown his daughter in the bath.

The bedroom is for Du and his wife. There is a closet where Meishin hided herself when there is a guest.

Besides, out of the apartment, there is a hall, notice board is also there. OK, that is all you should be noticed. Lets begin our playing.

Basic Control

Use WASD to move just like a FPS game. And use your mouse to look around, and press E to pick item up and R to read stuff you have collected, and T to choose a item to use.

What? You use a controller instead? Sorry, I haven`t use it for this game. All right, our guide will be changed to a semi-complete one.
