Raid on Taihoku

Raid on Taihoku is a 2.5D narrative adventure set in Taihoku, a city under Japanese colonial rule during World War II. You guide Sayako, who has amnesia after an American air raid, and her Taiwanese dog Blacky through the fire-damaged city as they try to survive and recover her memories.

The raid and its aftermath

On May 31, 1945, hundreds of American B-24 Liberators raided Taipei, the island’s capital. Many residents died, while survivors faced a devastated hometown. The game portrays the raid and its aftermath from the perspective of a colony of an Axis Power, and depicts World War II in Taiwan.

As Sayako and Blacky travel through the city, you collect broken memories and clues to uncover Sayako’s past and the final truth. The story also follows other survivors, whose experiences you learn about through puzzle-solving missions.

Explore and escape

In safe zones, you can explore freely and follow hints to find mysterious items hidden around the city. In danger zones, the focus shifts to cooperation between characters as they escape threats, including air raids. Puzzles and a wide range of collectibles accompany the survival journey.

Taipei and its history

The game reconstructs Taipei during the Japanese colonial period and includes historical facts. Its background music was created by musician Wei-fan Chang.
