[Looping Reboots × Rules-Based Horror × Cthulhu Awakens]
On the subway ride home after working late, I jolted awake at “Huilong Station.”
The platform announcement was reciting the deadly “Passenger Rules,” and something lurked in the darkness...
Every death is a new beginning.
Slowly, I came to understand that the only way out is not to escape.
Face that “Gate” head-on.
Break the rules, and you die.
Follow the rules, and after countless cycles of death, “it” will eat you.
The announcement began playing the “Passenger Rules” again.
This time, he would no longer save anyone. He would change everything.

When writing "Inquiring into the Secret", I locked my loneliest mornings, most suffocating nightmares, and most painful memories into Huilong Station. Every time I reset, Wu Jin was asking me: If there is only one rule left in the world that is constantly collapsing, what else can we believe in? Perhaps the real trick is hidden somewhere deep in our hearts. If you have ever walked alone late at night, please come here and listen to the whispers at the end of the railroad tracks. Maybe you will find that the crack is exactly the direction from which the light comes.
