Firework
An accidental fire at a funeral forces the police to re-investigate a closed case of massacre. Lin Lixun participates the re-investigation by chances. As the investigation goes deeper, the past of the victims gradually emerges. However, the case becomes more bewildering.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “Emotionally resonant mystery tragedy” (57 of 83 reviews) and “Atmospheric hand-drawn visual presentation” (34); the most common complaint is “Short three-to-four-hour experience” (14). What reviewers agree on ↓

“The most frightening thing is not a ghost leaping out, but the long-running, human-made tragedy that clings to everything. The chill it leaves behind lasts far longer than any jump scare ever could.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“My girlfriend and I played this game together, and we found it very enjoyable. The creator clearly understands a lot about the human psyche and where feelings of fear and unease come from, and we were both thoroughly creeped out by the middle section of the game. The story was…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“A short emotional game. pros- good story, great art and imagery, and the horror elements are creepy. cons - the subtitles sometimes are bland and are unable to retain the emotion or translate the culture specific phrases well.”
