Our take on 搜索·迷城掠影/The phantom of the city
Instead of presenting exploration as movement through a conventional game world, this adventure makes memory the structure to navigate. Progress comes from identifying links between filmed fragments and interpreting sensory details, replacing ordinary discovery with narrative deduction.
What is 搜索·迷城掠影/The phantom of the city?
The Phantom of the City is a full-motion video exploration narrative game built around memory fragments.
Each level presents a small story about the protagonist. Players enter a memory, inspect scenes, and use prompts to identify the correct connection between fragments. That link opens the next memory piece, gradually revealing the story and its underlying truth. Images, text, sounds, and other details may contain information needed during exploration. The game uses footage of real city spaces, sometimes with a fuzzy appearance that reflects the nature of memory. One sequence begins on a rainy night in 1998, when the protagonist enters a police building and encounters a serious, faceless man identified as Mr Old A.
