About This Game
“Ziji Liu, a native of Nanyang, is a famous person with good moral character. After hearing about this, he plans to go there.”
"During the reign-period Taiyuan of the Jin dynasty there lived in Wu‑ling a certain fisherman. One day, as he followed the course of a stream, he became unconscious of the distance he had traveled. All at once, he came upon a grove of blossoming peach trees that lined either bank for hundreds of paces..."
For thousands of years, countless travelers have lost in the mountains, looking for the legendary paradise.
They lingered, lost their way, or died soon after.
In the description they left: It seems to be a perfect utopia.
But if this utopia is eternal, is it not another form of hell?

| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |
