Hidden Sin 8

Hidden Sin 8 is a mystery game about helping Miao Yao clear actor Ling Dan of murder. After returning to Nanhua City from France, Miao Yao receives a call from Ling Dan and finds him at the Yuelai Inn in the lawless district. Ren Baiyun, who had appeared to be a subordinate of Mu Qingyan, has been found dead in a room there, and Ling Dan is accused and imprisoned.

The case in Nanhua City

At the antique shop Boguzhai, its owner Qi Boyuan dies by suicide. Meanwhile, a mysterious ancient painting connected to the Jiuniu Sect's hidden treasure keeps appearing and disappearing. With help from friends including Hua Qingnang and Huang Ya, Miao Yao must investigate the murder, find who framed Ling Dan and uncover where the treasure is hidden. The story also follows entanglements of love and resentment from the past and present, and the clash between ideals and reality, as hidden clues point toward an underlying sin.

Investigate and reason

You advance the story through four main activities: searching locations, analyzing clues, forming hypotheses and reaching a conclusion at the end of each chapter. Each scene contains clues to find; examining them can reveal possible explanations and connections that lead to new hypotheses and trigger story developments. Chapter conclusions record your current judgment of a case, but whether it is the truth remains for you to investigate further.

The game also includes searches of people, puzzles and branching choices.
