Field notes
The studio describes itself as a one-person operation drawing on folk customs, festivals, and an East Asian aesthetic. Its gameplay copy says players can place defenses by drawing them, and lists folk objects alongside mythic creatures; the page also points to a TapTap forum and a numbered QQ player group. A further game is described as in development, with no release timing given.
