In Qingwu County, there is a paper shop called Nightwatch. It sells paper by day and kills ghosts after dark.
The shopkeeper, Gu Zhaoye, was once the youngest Daoist priest at Xuanzhao Temple. Now he watches over a dilapidated paper shop, taking on funeral jobs the living dare not touch. He can use paper effigies to mend the bones of vengeful ghosts, stitch their skin, and restore their faces, then sever their ghostly roots with talismans, a magical sword, and thunder from his palm.
The thirteenth paper effigy in a funeral procession, a paper horse that runs into a school, a paper mansion hiding the lifespan of the living, paper skins that replace students... Behind each strange folk-horror case lies the same long-lost White Cattail Ghost Paper, and the trail also leads to Gu Zhaoye's mother, missing for many years.
Some use the living to nourish a paper city. Others borrow vengeful ghosts to alter life and death.
Gu Zhaoye picks up his red-bronze scissors and pushes open the shop door.
"Paper can be shaped, ghosts can be killed. Anyone who uses the living to fill a paper effigy won't be walking away."
I was very confused while watching it, and I didn't quite understand the plot. It was a bit mind-bending, and I didn't feel like continuing to watch it.
Is it a female lead-free game? I'll give it three stars for now.
