À l'été 2003 à Shanghai, Baichuan est hanté par des souvenirs vifs et méconnus, déclenchés par l'invitation de son ex-petite amie Qiuyu, disparue depuis longtemps. Au fil de douze jours qui s'écoulent comme des rêves lucides, il croise des personnages tels que l'artiste freelance Fengyi, l'adolescente tourmentée Xiaobo et l'étudiante universitaire Jingxian, chacun luttant contre ses regrets personnels au cœur de vies chaotiques. Ces rencontres montrent comment des instants ordinaires peuvent transformer les destins.
Les joueurs collectent des Topics et des Clues au gré des interactions quotidiennes dans des lieux comme des salles de classe, la section What-If d'une librairie ou des cafés de quartier, avant de plonger dans l'intériorité de leurs amis proches. Ce RPG indie adventure tire sa force émotionnelle du réconfort et de l'inspiration qu'ils procurent, jusqu'à une fin où un rêve brisé se reconstruit la douzième nuit. Il séduira les amateurs de jeux narratifs introspectifs.
