Experience the eerie Chinese folklore of Ghost's Blockade in this indie RPG adventure. Players navigate a trapped forest on a single ring-shaped map, starting at the entrance and advancing step by step through each stage. Core gameplay revolves around exploring to find five key items, unlocking chests and tomb gates, solving puzzles, and placing items at the exit door to progress.
NPCs occasionally interrupt puzzle-solving, forcing players to handle disruptions first with nearby items. The plot version weaves in a storyline amid these challenges, wrapping up in 1.5-2 hours. Puzzle enthusiasts who enjoy methodical exploration and clue decryption will find a focused challenge here.
There is a Chinese folklore known as "Ghost's Blockade," which depicts a phenomenon where people often lose their sense of direction and become trapped in self-perceived confusion when walking at night or in the outskirts. They are unaware of their destination and end up going in circles. When people share such experiences with others, it becomes difficult for them to understand, hence the term "Ghost's Blockade."
Today, we have transformed this Chinese folklore into a game. Players need to dispel the fog by decrypting clues and find their way out of the trapped forest.
This game is adapted from the Chinese folklore "Ghost Wall." It is a game where players progress by finding items, solving puzzles, and gradually clearing each stage. The game consists of a single large map, shaped like a ring. Players start from the entrance of the ring and need to find the path to proceed to the next location in a step-by-step manner. Each level contains one or more puzzles that players must solve. They need to gradually discover ways to solve these puzzles. Throughout the entire map, we have 5 crucial and important items. Players need to explore, search, and unlock locked chests and tomb gates to obtain these key items. Finally, they need to place these items at the door of the level's exit room, open the door, and complete the entire game.
The game also features an additional storyline. While playing the game, some NPCs will come and disrupt the player's progress in deciphering. Players need to prioritize dealing with these troubles before starting to decrypt, using the items available in the scene. The entire game takes approximately 1.5-2 hours to complete.
