Fuyuu

Fuyuu is a narrative puzzle game set in an ordinary working-class family’s home in a small Chinese town at the start of the 21st century. After waking from a dream of your parents arguing, you find yourself locked inside an empty house. You investigate its strange rooms, collect and use objects, and solve puzzles to unlock memories and connect clues, gradually uncovering the family’s sad, hidden past.

Explore the house

The home is presented through surreal, dreamlike hand-drawn art, with a retro psychedelic atmosphere used to tell a story rooted in everyday life. You encounter a constantly sobbing monster and a television health advertisement that never ends, among other mysteries. The game’s questions include why fish cannot fly and why you are suffering.

Objects and details evoke the fashions of the era, including a PHS phone, a cassette player and a compilation tape of “Century’s Greatest Hits.” Local features gathered through on-site research bring the town’s everyday life and traditional cultural elements into the game.

Uncover the story

Puzzles and story progression are closely linked, with each discovery helping you piece together the full account. Local voice performers deliver the dialogue in expressive regional accents.

The story includes childhood family trauma and school bullying, and some scenes may cause emotional distress or trigger difficult reactions.
