Game Overview
A decaying mountain estate becomes the stage for a tightly focused horror mystery shaped by Chinese folklore, family cruelty, and the lingering weight of the past. Xi casts you as an unwilling visitor trapped among deserted banquets, looping halls, suspicious survivors, and spirits that may not be what they seem. Its early-Republic-era setting gives the adventure a distinctive period atmosphere, mixing ornate old wealth with oppressive supernatural dread. The mood favors unease and mounting suspicion over cheap shocks, making every room feel like another piece of a deliberately concealed tragedy.
Progress comes through classic pixel-RPG exploration: searching rooms, examining objects, collecting clues, solving environmental puzzles, and speaking with the mansion’s strange inhabitants. Rather than leaning on action-heavy combat, the game builds tension around observation and judgment, asking players to decide who is lying, what memories can be trusted, and how the ghost bride’s story fits into the larger curse. Dialogue and discoveries gradually reconstruct the household’s vanished history, while branching decisions lead toward four possible conclusions. Reaching the intended ending requires more than simply finding an exit, since hidden motives and overlooked details can reshape your understanding of who actually needs salvation.
Neo-Chinese pixel art is the strongest immediate draw, giving its haunted interiors a stylized look that feels more personal than the usual abandoned-house horror setting. The folklore-inspired premise also avoids treating its ghosts as mere monsters; resentment, social injustice, and family secrets all carry narrative weight. Fans of RPG Maker-style mystery horror, especially players who enjoy titles such as The Witch’s House or Detention, should find plenty to like in its puzzle-driven pacing and multiple-ending structure. Xi suits newcomers looking for a compact supernatural detective story, while genre veterans will appreciate an escape-room mystery that rewards careful reading and repeat visits.

My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?
