The cold touch tore reality apart. Gu Yunchuan woke up from the chaos and found himself trapped in a strange and ruined temple. The scraping sound of the paper man outside the door and the whisper of evil thoughts that penetrated directly into his brain announced that he had fallen into a desperate situation called "Nightmare Ruins".
The rules here are strict: if you don't leave the house at night, your soul will fly away; if you don't leave the house at night, you will draw lots during the day and hunt and explore the way. However, what is more terrifying than the evil spirits wandering around at night is the human heart of those who walk with us during the day. Corpse oil refiners, skin-painting people, credit swordsmen... Villains hide in public, feeding on the flesh, flesh and destiny of the same kind, maintaining their twisted "survival".
Gu Yunchuan must rely on his calm mind and decisiveness to struggle to survive in this desperate village. He gets to know his companions, understands the rules, and tries to uncover the truth behind the ruins in order to find a slim way home.
But when he finally touched the glimmer of light at the exit, he discovered that the deepest malice might come from the gentlest watcher around him...
This is a survival game in an endless nightmare. When the lonely lamp is lit, will it illuminate hope or deeper despair?
