Project Search
A downloadable spatial experience for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Project Search (繼續追尋) is a visual novel game based on Chinese science fiction and cultivation novels. The story takes place in the old town of Linhai. The collapse of two ancient pagodas on Jinzi Mountain reveals the exploration of parallel dimensions and the underground grotto-heaven.
Qian Jiangmin (錢江敏), a young scholar who had just recovered from a serious illness, travelled through Dunhuang and Chongqing to Linhai to look for his brother. With the help of various scholars and Dao cultivators, he enters the underground grotto-heaven in Linhai's old town.
As he explores further, the space-time of the ancient city shifts... Qian Jiangmin also realises why he has double vision...
All my life, I will ask; regardless of sadness, I will ask.
