How AI is used

Due to the small scale of the project, many visual assets in the current demo were created using AI-assisted image generation tools, with additional manual editing and selection by the developer. Some assets may be replaced or redrawn in future versions during development. Character design,character writing, story structure, dialogue, game design, and overall direction were totally created by the developer. This is a small independent narrative project focused primarily on storytelling and atmosphere.Thank you for playing, reading, and supporting the project.

The developer's own words, from Steam.

About Night of her vanishing in fireworks

Summer in Xichuan is always hot and humid.

Liu Lan and Chen Sijia are two high school students who often run into each other at illegal internet cafés late at night.

Both of them dream of becoming champions, of winning tournaments and changing their lives, yet neither can overcome the limitations trapping them where they are.

But this time,

the fireworks changed something small — and incredibly important.

And just like that, fate began to bloom within the brief and blazing youth of these teenagers.

The Night She Vanished in the Fireworks is a short narrative visual novel set in a small Chinese city, blending youth and esports. The full version is planned for release on Steam this winter.

The full release will include additional story routes, character interactions, and complete endings.
