About the Game

No. 13 Hewan Street, on the edge of the old town, there's a 24-hour convenience store.

Three months after her grandfather passed away behind this counter, Lin Wan takes over the night shift.

At 2 AM, the doorbell rings half a tone flat —

and she sees her first "guest."

What is this store?

This little store is a ferry stop between worlds. Things left undone and words left unsaid harden into regrets, clinging to unfinished objects — a letter, a cup of tea, a scarf — and walk in as spirits between 2 and 4 AM.

Her grandmother's journal, "The Store Rules," was kept for forty-one years. The first page says only:

"Stand behind the register, and the store is yours."[/i]

Four house rules:

Never ask where a guest comes from

Never rush anyone to check out

Serve the warm things first

Say a proper goodbye to every guest

Gameplay: more than reading

A first-person visual novel[/b]: make choices at key moments — how you respond shapes how each guest's farewell unfolds

Free exploration[/b]: between story beats, investigate glowing spots around the store — the third shelf, the lost-and-found drawer, the oden pot — to find items, clues, and fragments of the store's 41 years

Serve something warm[/b]: read each guest's lingering regret, pick the right "unfinished thing" from the shelf, heat it up, and hand it over. A simple gesture that carries real weight

Journal collection[/b]: record your guests in grandma's journal — stickers, CGs, and an ending gallery that light up page by page

Wugeng the store cat[/b]: feed him, brush him, or play with a paper ball; his brutally honest review board by the door knows everything

Multiple endings: every chapter ends in "release" or "regret." Gather four moonlit petals to reach the winter solstice full moon

Tonight's guests

Wenjiu— a vampire bound to this store by a three-hundred-year promise. Every night, heat her a cup of tomato juice. Scalding hot.

Mo— a letter rewritten seven times and never sent. She has waited eighty-three years for someone who won't come back.

Chacha— a cup of barley tea that went cold waiting. The bell only ever half-rings for her.

Zhi — an unfinished scarf. She buys one ball of yarn every night; by dawn, her knitting comes undone again.
