Our take on Tide—1927—
Its branching structure trades continuous gameplay systems for narrative variation: replay value comes from pursuing different routes and endings rather than from combat, exploration, or character-building mechanics.
What is Tide—1927—?
Set in Shanghai in 1927, this traditional otome visual novel follows Bai Youfu, a young woman who rejects an arranged marriage and leaves home after her fiancé is murdered and an innocent woman is blamed.
Her father, the deputy chief of police, becomes part of the conflict. The story uses the heroine’s viewpoint alongside perspectives from other characters. Player choices determine the protagonist’s fate and the ending. The game includes four strategy routes and 17 endings: 13 official endings, three game-over endings, and one common ending.
