Ling Tong

Ling Tong is a Chinese-style horror puzzle game in which you solve puzzles and explore the story. Anxi and four friends arrive at Tianfu Village, a well-known tourist village, and check into a homestay. Strange events follow: the owner gives unsettling instructions, mysterious conversations come over the phone, children cry and laugh, and the person next door is found hanging from a beam. Anxi is entangled in a scandal involving accompanying guests, but her reason for coming to the village is unclear.

Uncover the story

The plot connects a series of mysteries, with the truth emerging only at the end. The game’s ghost story draws on several reported cases and asks you to judge whether what you encounter is human or supernatural. Its episodes include a homestay murder, Guanyin shedding blood and tears, a female celebrity raising little ghosts, eerie children, elementary school students caught in collective evil, and a tragedy involving a family of four at a hair salon.

Each character has their own story and emotions, and choosing a path determines the ending. The story follows Anxi as she moves from pursuing ideals toward the abyss of human nature, while the characters struggle against fate and the fear spreading among them. The game also recalls the 1990s, including summer evenings watching Hong Kong horror films and the creaking elevators of old residential buildings.

Solve puzzles

You explore and solve puzzles in a tense atmosphere, with puzzle forms that draw on Chinese culture, including Bagua and Feng Shui. The puzzles are designed to be approachable but challenging, and solving them helps you understand what happened. Mysterious supernatural gameplay also offers moments of achievement.

A local horror atmosphere

The game uses a nostalgic Chinese animation style, reminiscent of childhood cartoons, and builds its horror through gameplay and atmosphere rather than face-to-face killings.
