On-looker

On-looker is a story about Yuan Jiyao, a student at Tairui Qingzhi University who is used to living in other people's shadows. He sees his purpose as supporting people born to be protagonists, such as his talented, wealthy and handsome roommate, Hua Ang. When both men fall in love at first sight with Shen Yan, a woman known for her cold beauty, Yuan knows he and Hua do not start on equal footing. He must decide whether to give up before the contest begins or take his place in it and face the likely defeat.

Yuan's choices

A succession of setbacks tests Yuan's resolve. He also has to question whether his feelings are genuine love or an obsession with something he cannot have. The story follows an ordinary person trying to find happiness and asks whether he should keep trying despite disappointment, learn from experience and grow.

Thirteen endings

The game has 13 endings, which together form the complete story. Few are clearly happy endings, and the story offers little everyday life; instead, it presents questions that require reflection. The endings may not all be easy to accept, and the story does not always take the turns a player might want.
