About 回煞录 | Phantom Reckoning
▍Chinese Horror｜Authentic Rural Folktales
In 1990s rural China, without TV or internet, people gathered to share firsthand supernatural encounters. "Phantom Reckoning" brings these oral traditions to life, transporting you to that mysterious era.
▍Immersive Experience｜First-Person 90s Nightmare
The game uses first-person perspective to meticulously recreate 1990s environments - from peeling hospital walls to antiquated medical equipment. Based on real accounts, you'll experience bone-chilling moments firsthand.
▍Narrative-Driven Puzzles｜Truth Hidden in Folklore
With rich storytelling, each chapter presents different supernatural events like dream messages and ghost walls. To solve these, you must deeply understand the plot, analyze relationships, and utilize folk customs and special items.
▍Retro Art Style｜Blurred Yet Real Memories
The game features a unique visual style that preserves PS1-era angularity while adding modern lighting. Scenes resemble half-remembered nightmares of that old hospital - authentically rough yet unsettlingly real.
