About
Immersed in the turbulent "Tohoku" underworld epicof the 1980s, "Northeast Past" is a real-life interactivevideo game that combines hardcore underworldsurvival rules with multi-branching narratives, takingyou to experience the underworld and get involved inthe bloody fate of gang disputes.
Directed by Kong Ergou, the original author of the novel, the game stays true to the core of the beloved storyline. Di Huangjin, a renowned interactive movie game producer, oversees the entire gameplay experience from concept to release. The original star cast of the IP also returns for this adaptation. While preserving the IP’s iconic essence, we’ve crafted a fresh take on the story, delivering cinematic live-action interactive gameplay that captures the unadulterated spirit of the Northeast underworld and a one-of-a-kind brand of Eastern heroic fervor.

The original novel has sold over 40 million copies, and its live-action adaptation is a Douban classic with an 8.8/10 rating! This time, you’re no longer a bystander to the legend—you forge and write your own 20 years of fiery heroism. Step into the Northeast underworld of the 80s and 90s, and make pivotal choices that could either ignite a blazing legacy or lead to total ruin, amid the fire and frost of a transformative era.

Play as Zhao Hongbing and navigate the twists and turns of a life of chaos and courage, making choices that split the story into distinct paths at every turn. Stand by your brothers through thick and thin without hesitation, or swallow your pride and endure humiliation just to survive—every decision unlocks a radically different story branch. Will you become a legendary underworld lord? Or will your fiery life burn out too soon, a tragic ballad cut short? Unlock a host of epic, high-stakes endings as you carve your path.

With top-tier artistic craftsmanship, the game recreates an era where passion and courage ran through every street. From rusted old factory districts to neon-drenched nightclubs, every scene is steeped in the raw, unfiltered energy of 1980s and 90s Northeast China.

Every encounter with the classic characters from the live-action series is a collision of fates, forging unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and heroism. The game’s Archive System delves deep into every character’s backstory, breathing life and humanity into them. Uncover hidden character arcs rife with loyalty, betrayal, and unspoken friendship—each one a new layer to the underworld’s rich tapestry.

The gates to the Northeast underworld are open… “It’s time to settle the score.”
Mate, wishlist the game now and embark on an unforgettable journey of Eastern heroic fervor!

有点偏贵,有点影大于游,刘海柱不够经典,毛芹是亮点
我 口 你 口 的,虽然演员不是全原班人马,但是剧情和台词上绝对是原汁原味,玩的那叫一个爽,看得爽听的爽。早上买的,直接玩了一整个白天打通全流程全成就。我 口 你 口 ,谁还没买呢?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best visual novels I've played! I honestly didn't expect this game to surprise me as much as it did. The biggest strength is definitely the characters. Every main character has their own personality, motivations, and emotional moments that make you genuinely care about them. The voice actors also did an amazing job—every scene feels alive, and the emotional performances make both the happy and heartbreaking moments much more impactful. Unlike many other dating sims that mainly focus on romance and everyday conversations, Northeast Past keeps things fresh with a great balance of romance, mystery, and plenty of action. The story constantly gives you new twists and exciting moments, so it never feels repetitive or slow. The pacing is excellent, and I was always looking forward to seeing what would happen next. The different routes are enjoyable, but what impressed me most was how satisfying the ending felt. After spending so much time with these characters, the conclusion was truly rewarding and left me with a smile. If you're looking for a visual novel that offers more than just romance, with memorable characters, fantastic voice acting, exciting action scenes, and an ending that makes the whole journey worthwhile, I can wholeheartedly recommend Northeast Past. A wonderful experience from beginning to end.

你们工作室没有测试和校对这两种角色吗?QTE拖动判定经常失效,而且在选择要不要给陈卫东钱的时候,第一次是没问题,第二次开始的之后每一次选“不给钱”,无论是等它播放完,还是快进跳过,都会自动走“给钱”、增加好感的路线,需要ESC退出,手动选择“不给钱”的节点,才能跳过这个BUG。而且人物档案的文本也有错误,本来这部游戏把小北京和小纪合成了一个人,而在档案中却时而写小北京,时而写小纪。 不过整体剧情照剧版改动的还不错,剧情有趣了不少。小纪和毛琴这两位的演技最好,把人物演活了,非常加分。 等把bug和文本修复后,我再改成好评。
