   This is what I watched recently. It's more of a satire on reality than a weird talk about rules. Each copy of it has a prototype in reality, and it is a very novel theme. The only skills are initial skills and cards. But the cards are powerful, but the side effects are also huge. Moreover, the overall writing style is clear and logical. Most importantly, this author is simply very productive!

    This seemingly prosperous and peaceful American city hides a strange and unknown truth. Countless local ghosts are hiding in every corner of the city, including abandoned theaters, rainy night roads, old apartments, and suburban cemeteries. Unnoticed evil spirits wander around everywhere. Ordinary people know nothing about it and continue to live ordinary urban lives. Visitors who come to check in for adventure only think that the eerie atmosphere and weird scenes of the venue are carefully designed special effects scenery. No one knows that those chilling and horrifying scenes are all real supernatural beings. This is okay. If you like watching horror, you can watch it.
