Deadly Endgame

Deadly Endgame is a story-driven romance set at university, where your choices shape a relationship with one of two very different women. The story begins in autumn, as you start university life at Mingshui University and meet two students from its literature department. As your relationships develop, you face questions of trust and deception, truth and lies, and what is real or imagined.

Story and choices

The game has around 300,000 Chinese characters of story, multiple choices and 20 different endings. Its romance takes unexpected turns, and the story takes about 7 hours to play. The true ending is a happy, devoted romance.

The two students

One possible romantic interest is a second-year literature student who is outgoing, lively and sociable. She likes fun, throws herself into things she cares about and has a strong competitive streak. Though she may seem simple at first, she can be hard to read and has a strong effect on your emotions.

The other is a third-year literature student who is composed, calm and mysterious. She rarely shows strong emotions and is usually found on the rooftop rather than elsewhere on campus. She carries a black utility knife, and people warn you not to get too close to her.

Story content

The game includes more than 25 CG illustrations. Some scenes may be uncomfortable: one of the women has had a previous relationship, some dialogue contains verbal attacks, and some endings portray distorted views of romance.
