Unravel the Journey of Ting

The game covers five pivotal years of Ting’s life, depicting her struggles to comprehend her unique powers while confronting the complexities of childhood. With her family on the brink of collapse, Ting faces harrowing choices, engages in intricate puzzles, and confronts hidden threats—all while striving to assist lost souls and protect her loved ones. The presence of competing spirits, each with their own motives, adds layers of intrigue as players must make critical decisions on their quest for peace.

The breathtaking “paper theatre” visuals set this game apart, providing a unique aesthetic that brings to life the essence of Southeast Asian traditions like never before.
