"The Story of Pie Na" is a simple game that combines" filling idioms "and" walking in a maze ".
And on this basis, different game mechanisms are added to enhance players' enjoyment in the game.
Players will take on the role of a human who has fallen to a different realm, constantly advancing or retreating through "filling in idioms" in order to return to their hometown.
In the process of understanding and comprehending traditional idioms, players can also play the role of a "traveler", "ranger", and "wanderer" who travels through the world, listening to the stories of each character in the game and deciding whether to get involved, making choices that they will not regret.
Can you hold onto your inner choice until you reach the end of your journey?
Those seemingly settled things are quietly undergoing changes.

First trial version - Release
To the few people who have paid close attention to 'The Story of Pi Na': Before the arrival of summer in the northern hemisphere, I released the first trial version of 'The Story of Pi Na' with excitement and unease.

The Story of Pi Na "is my first game work and also my debut work that strictly deviates from online tutorials. Playing games was one of my childhood dreams, and now I finally have the time to put it into practice. Although college students' time is not particularly abundant. Before the birth of "The Story of Pi Na", I also asked myself what kind of game I wanted to make.

Just spelling idioms, navigating mazes, listening to stories, that's all. The handling of details in many places reflects the creator's unfamiliarity, and perhaps the plot is even more confusing. There are flaws everywhere. And ...Read full article on Community Announcements (穷奇)
