Chinese-Style Horror Tales

People across the globe are randomly dropped into [Rule-Bound Horror Game Instances]. Eight instances, each deadlier than the last: Movable Type Printing House: Misprint a single character, and when the press starts turning by itself, do not thank it. The passage that appears in the forbidden book is how you'll die tonight. Mourner: You have to mourn at a deaf old man's grave and make your cries "move heaven and earth." When a voice from the coffin says, "Too loud," whoever speaks first loses. Living Opera Troupe: The show at the deserted village's stage never ends. Once you put on a costume, your body is no longer yours. The person backstage wearing the same costume and smiling at you is a stand-in who wants to take your skin. Feng Shui Town: The entire town is a dead gate, and every seven days one of its open gates closes at random. The opponent in the unfinished game of go beneath the pagoda tree is your former self, who died in the last round. Ghost Weighing Shop: The pawnshop with green lanterns takes anything. When the old woman's scale beam rises high, never say, "I want to pawn my life." River God's Bride: Tied to a bamboo raft, you drift into a pitch-black cave. The "seniors" at the temple are all ghosts seeking stand-ins. The water tastes salty. You're already inside the River God's mouth.
