Our take on 出马
The emphasis on immersion and achievement collecting can make the game sound broader than its core structure: an interactive horror investigation built around choices and idle play. The primary activity is following the story, selecting responses, and pursuing different outcomes rather than taking part in continuous action.
What is 出马?
Play as a detective in the Republican-era setting of Harbin and travel with childhood friend and reporter Lin Qiu to Heidingzi village.
The investigation begins after an invitation from Lin Qiu’s junior, Liu Feifei, and centers on a strange murder. This Chinese-horror interactive live-action game combines story scenes with idle gameplay. Choices involving villagers, the village chief, a shaman, Lin Qiu, Liu Feifei, and a mysterious woman shape the investigation. The story can end in several ways, including serious, humorous, perfect, and regretful outcomes. Idle play also provides achievements based on Chinese folk customs, which can be used to decorate a cabinet.
