We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, App Store, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Excelente juego ! Es corto, intrigante con un par de sustos bien puestos. Y la historia te rompe el corazón.
This is a good story! The gameplay is a fairly easy point and click adventure, but the presentation is very good. The half historical and mythological setting is really cool, and 1960s Taiwan is not a setting I usually get to explore in a video game.
I'm from Taiwan. I've seen the movie, done multiple research about The White Terror. This game still ruined me when I finally decided to play.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 16: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

분위기만으로 무서운 분위기를 조성하는 좋은 공포게임. 제작자가 하고 싶은 말도 스토리에 적절히 녹여냈습니다. 다만, 마우스만으로 모든 조작을 하다 보니 오른손이 아픕니다
tuffest game i have played it actually got me into some taiwanese history and taught me about the white terror, loved how i could piece together the story throughout the game. i have been wanting to purchase this game for over a year after seeing a youtube video on it and finally got my hands on it
,很有意义，我个人觉得有些挺吓人（好玩,,
Easily one of my top five favourite games of all time. It's haunting yet beautiful in a somber sort of way and an emotional (and chilling) journey from start to finish.
Ｇood to let people know Taiwan's history about 戒嚴.
This is a great game. Subtle, melancholic, very deep and yes, political. The history of government repression in 1960s Taiwan is wonderfully portrayed, and the same goes for the feelings of loss of a teenage student navigating a difficult moment in the country. Highly recommended.
This one will stay with me for a while. Its atmosphere is truly flawless. Its themes are hyper-relevant, and an accurate historical retelling. I cannot recommend it enough, it's clear it was created with so much care, and left me feeling genuinely heavy.
