Evaluation

THE VIG launched its full version on Steam on March 5, 2026, following a free demo released during Steam Next Fest in February 2026. The release post confirmed the game ships as a complete 7-chapter story with approximately 4–5 hours per playthrough and 8–10 hours for full completion, featuring nearly 50 endings and three romance routes. After launch, the developer issued two bug-fix patches (March 6 and March 10, 2026) addressing chapter unlock issues, subtitle errors, and UI bugs. On June 26, 2026, the developer posted about the Steam Summer Sale, describing the game's positive reception since launch and encouraging new players to pick it up — but making no mention of upcoming content, expansions, DLC, or future updates of any kind. There are no unreleased DLC listings on the store. The game was designed and shipped as a self-contained narrative product, and no developer communication across the full post-launch period has indicated that additional content is planned. Today's date of September 3, 2026 places us well beyond the 180-day recently-launched window, and the developer has remained consistent in presenting this as a finished product throughout.

About this game

Everything you once believed in collapses overnight.

You are Xie En, a brilliant architect. Betrayed by your mentor, you are reduced to a prisoner. While incarcerated, you receive the devastating news of your father's resentful death. To avenge them, you endure eight years of patient concealment, then return under the alias Wu Wei, infiltrating the enemy's headquarters—the Yongqiang Group.

The law cannot judge his hypocrisy, and hatred consumes your heart. This time, you decide to act on your own terms, walking the fine line of rules to weave an impeccable scheme. Your target is not his life, but the empire he holds dearer than life itself.

In the end, can Wu Wei succeed in his revenge and bring the mastermind to justice? How will he survive in this cutthroat corporate world? Everything hinges on your choices.

"If one seeks to win, they must neither abide by the rules nor reject them outright—they must walk between the rules."

Immersive & Engaging Game Design

Experience a rich variety of interactive gameplay:

· In tense, high-stakes QTE sequences, you must stay absolutely calm to ensure your actions leave no trace.

· Navigate the perilous corporate environment: choose to sneak in stealthily to gain the upper hand, or step into the fray when necessary.

This is a game where choices are tangled in love and hate, right and wrong. On this cold path of revenge, will these passionate emotions become your greatest vulnerability? Or your most formidable strength? Every choice that tests your humanity carries the weight of a thousand jun.

Characters

Xie En (Wu Wei)

Once a wrongfully imprisoned architect, now a ruthless avenger. Under the fake identity "Wu Wei", he infiltrates his former mentor's Yongqiang Group and meticulously plots his revenge—using financial tactics to dismantle everything the mentor holds dear. This high-IQ hunt walks the razor's edge between rules and human nature.

Zhang Yun'er

The "queen" of Yongqiang Group, Xie En's direct supervisor and "benefactor". She is a paradox of rationality and sensibility. Little does she know that the capable subordinate she personally promoted is a hunter targeting the heart of her family empire. When unyielding business pragmatism collides with uncontrollable emotion, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur.

Chen Xiaoman

A mysterious corporate accountant at the group. Her meteoric rise from a dancer to a core staff member is shrouded in enigma. Her relationship with Xie En starts as a dangerous game of mutual exploitation. In a world of scheming and temptation, whoever falls in love first will lose everything.

Guan Xinling

The seemingly innocent "white rabbit" of the group, hiding sharp observation skills and a rebellious heart behind her sketchbook. Desperate to break free from her cage, her transformation will be the biggest wildcard in Xie En's plan. She could be his purest redemption—or his deadliest flaw.
