United City

United City is an illustrated visual novel set in a science-fiction version of 1990s China. It tells short stories in a parallel world shaped by the launch of new technology from Ruian Company, which turns remote, mountainous areas into technology pilot zones. As residents experience the benefits of the technology, other changes unfold around them.

Childhood memories

The stories revisit experiences associated with growing up in the 1990s, including being left behind, extracurricular tutoring, overseas animation and arcade halls. They reflect on friends as fellow passengers on a train: some leave early, others disappear without saying goodbye, yet former playmates may still have a place in the depths of the soul in Liancheng.
