Evaluation

Xi launched on March 12, 2025 as a complete horror puzzle game set in a Chinese folklore-inspired haunted mansion. In the weeks following launch, the developer released several patches addressing bugs, collision issues, localization fixes, and performance improvements. On April 25, 2025, the developer shipped a substantial version update that refactored the guidance system, remade sound effects, added a new "Strange Stories" feature for task and customs guidance, and introduced new achievements. This appears to represent the developer's major post-launch polish pass. A follow-up bug fix patch on May 9, 2025 addressed localization issues across multiple languages and various in-game bugs. Since that May 9, 2025 patch, there have been no further developer communications. The game has no unreleased DLC listed, no season pass or roadmap has been announced, and the developer has made no statements about planned future content. The post-launch activity looks consistent with a finished game receiving standard launch-window polish rather than the beginning of an ongoing content program. The game appears to have been completed as a self-contained narrative experience.

About this game

Perhaps we have never escaped our fate.

"Xi" is a horror puzzle game set in the context of modern Chinese folklore.

The story takes place in a long-abandoned mountain mansion. This immersive escape room experience feels a bit too real, with eerie and strange elements everywhere—an empty banquet, an endless corridor, and you, who have accidentally stumbled into this haunted house. Can you really escape? Fortunately, there are others in the mansion; unfortunately, they don't seem to be human... Who is telling the truth? I can't tell, I really can't tell...

Characters

Game Features

       A purchased girl is betrothed to a ghost? Is this another story of feudal remnants persecuting young girls? No, no, no, the truth this time might be simpler than you think. A neo-Chinese pixel art style recreates the eerie mansion of a wealthy family in the early Republic of China era. As a staunch materialist, I don't believe in any supernatural beings. I have strength and strength... uh... and occasionally some wisdom. No matter what, can you really calm the resentment of the ghost bride, save her soul, and make it out alive? But... who is the one that really needs saving?

A unique adventure of "Jing Xi"

Piece together the vanished past and discover a story that belongs to you.

A classic pixel-style RPG game.

No cliché jump scares, just pure Eastern mysticism. Feel the mysterious power of the East!!

Four endings in total, with one being the official true ending.

Intricate ancient-style ensemble.

Each character in the game has their own agenda. Uncover the secrets behind the characters—there might be a chance to break through.

You can't rest yet; there are monster girls wandering outside (♪Legend of Chaos♪ plays here).
