The traditional crafts hall Grandpa left behind has only Jiang Xun left to carry on its legacy.
His master went into the old arts theater, converted from a playhouse in the west of the city, and never came back out.
That same night, every forgotten old shop in the city began devouring people.
The paper figures in the paper effigy shop can ward off disaster for you, as long as you don't look back on the seventh step. At the old dyehouse, a touch of color stains you for good. When the lights come on at the shadow puppet theater, your shadow changes places with someone else's.
The lost old crafts all use rules to kill. No one remembers the rules, so the rules kill them.
Only Jiang Xun still remembers.
The moment his fingertip touched the ancestral fragmentary scroll, the [Record of Lost Arts] lit up: Paper Effigy Craft, beginner level, unlocked.
Each time he dies, he returns anew, and his craft advances by one level.
Paper figures take your place, Nuo masks shield your eyes, and shadow puppets blur the line between real and false.
This time, he will turn his craft into a blade, break into the theater that swallowed his master, and tear apart the man-eating rules one by one.
