Overview

About this game

"Another winter break, same as always... Ugh, I hate New Year."

It’s a cold, ordinary day in 2018. Ying skips class again, trying to escape the tension at home. In this small town—familiar, yet suffocating—her life drifts by like an old calendar, each page silently torn away. But this year, things start to change. It all began with a puppy, a chance encounter at the wrong time, and a series of unexpected connections—quietly setting everything into motion.

Who will leave their mark on her life? The bright, straightforward best friend? The mysterious, brooding classmate? Or that peculiar lurking in her neighborhood?

Even the most predictable life can ripple. A nosy teacher, boy struck by love at first sight, a tough, queen-bee type in the dormitory, and... her family.
