Such a guy

Such a guy is a first-person narrative game that combines live-action storytelling with light guesthouse management. You play as Zane Zheng, who leaves his city job and joins two close friends in renovating and running an old guesthouse in a seaside town. Their work brings funding shortages, operational challenges and personality clashes, while the venture becomes part of Zane’s personal growth.

The story uses nearly 1,000 minutes of 4K footage featuring real actors, filmed on location. Hundreds of decision points affect the characters’ relationships, fates and the story’s progression, leading to over 20 different endings. You can also explore side plots, events, mini-games, hidden scenes and achievements.

Run the guesthouse

Guesthouse management and relationships form two connected storylines. Choices about conversations, when to interact and how to manage the business shape the story’s events and outcomes. Six women enter Zane’s life as travelers, neighbors, colleagues and potential partners; each has her own story and branching fate.

Meet the characters

• Layla Jiang: A 25-year-old local tour guide and surf coach, she is cheerful, outgoing and passionate about adventure. She supports the guesthouse early on, and her relationship with Zane is direct and warm but brings challenges.
• Ki Gan: The 30-year-old owner of the town’s popular bar is mature, confident and straightforward. She can offer career guidance and personal support, and her relationship with Zane depends on mutual understanding.
• Mina Xu: A 26-year-old freelance graphic designer, she is independent, intellectual and elegant. She expresses herself through design and often keeps her thoughts quiet, so gaining her trust takes patience.
• Zoey: The 23-year-old singer at the local bar is bold on the outside and guarded, but values sincerity. She is passionate about music and may share a song after late-night drinks and conversation.
• Ivy Wong: A gentle 20-year-old marine university student interning on a marine research project, she loves aquatic life and shows determination at important moments. Her bond with Zane grows gradually.
• Erica Luo: The 22-year-old travel blogger loves photography, playfulness and stirring up trouble. Energetic and sometimes unexpectedly reliable, she moves at a fast pace.
