Welcome to Hengdong City - a city that always stays in winter.
This is not a climate anomaly or a natural disaster.
This is a cold deeper than ice: the eternal winter of concepts.
Here, "spring" has become a deleted word, "warmth" is a currency that needs to be exchanged with life, and "growth" is an abnormality that will be corrected by the system.
But there are always those who refuse to forget.
When ice and snow cover the whole world's memory,
They choose to be the ones who remember spring.
"To the person who discovered this record:
If you're reading this, it means that the city of Hengwin no longer exists - either in frozen or thawed form.
We were a city trapped in eternal winter. This is not a metaphor. Winter really never ends.
We discovered the truth: eternal winter is our own choice. To escape some greater horror, we freeze time.
Players try to unfreeze it. We don't know if they were successful.
If it's spring outside, be happy for us.
If there's something worse out there... Then maybe we made the right choice.
The last sentence:
Xu Chiqing, if you succeed, remember to plant a tomato in real spring.
——The last data beacon in Hengdong City, the Everwinter Calendar? Year? Month? Day"
Intention: Harmonious coexistence between man and nature
