[Rule Horror] [Lighthearted Commentary] [System] [Battles of Wits] [Designer’s Perspective]
Lu Jianbai was born into this life and has lived for over twenty years without illness or misfortune. He has just been laid off.
Then he notices that strange, “not quite right” zones are appearing around the city.
Anyone who enters has to follow the rules. Those who break them are quietly corrected by the world.

One night, she sends him a recording saying that someone in the building is “checking rooms.”
The whole city is trying to figure out how to survive while obeying the rules.
But the more Lu Jianbai looks, the less things add up:
The rule numbers, the wording, even the way the bugs are planted
are exactly like the abandoned game designs he deleted in his previous life.
In other words,
the deadly ghost stories are half-finished projects he wrote himself.
While others play through the levels, he inspects the product.
