Description: Reach endings A–E with the developer's paranormal/scientific score chart, the double-point temple fortune, three forum replies and the final Wen Hao versus police choice.

Nine endings come from two decisions layered together: how you distribute 16 points between Paranormal and Scientific interpretations, and whether you go to Wen Hao or call the police at the end. Groups A–D each split into two outcomes. The all-Scientific route E bypasses that final choice. Group A is marked as the true-ending family in the official walkthrough. Full route spoilers follow.

There are twelve photo or event judgments and three forum replies. Most award one point, but the fortune obtained at Yizhen Temple awards two. That makes sixteen points altogether. All Paranormal is its own bracket, distinct from merely having more Paranormal points; the same distinction applies at the Scientific extreme.

All fifteen scoring decisions

Decision in story order Paranormal interpretation Scientific interpretation Points
1. Bloody suitcase Suspect supernatural forces Reject the occult explanation +1
2. Goldfish Treat it as ominous Blame the old shop +1
3. Ash in the corner Identify burned joss paper Identify an ordinary burning smell +1
4. Dead roadside snake Wonder about an uncanny cause Suspect a human attacker +1
5. Bird against the glass Think it followed you Call it an accident +1
6. Wu Weixin's amulet Trust the divination Doubt fortune-telling +1
7. Café owner's picture See a talisman See an ordinary picture +1
8. Voice on the street Hear your childhood nickname Assume a hallucination +1
9. Yizhen Temple fortune Believe Wu Weixin Doubt Wu Weixin +2
10. Blood beneath a door Consider it fresh Consider it long dried +1
11. Rotting smell behind a door Accept having opened the door Insist you never opened it +1
12. Koi fish Match it to the owner's picture Assume a mix-up +1
13. Forum: do you have a partner? Answer yes Answer no +1
14. Forum: should Wu Weixin seek care? Defend her as not ill Agree with the suggestion +1
15. Forum: are you haunted? Admit it is possible Play down the idea +1

The forum replies you must count

The online forum is part of the scoring system, not optional flavour. Claiming to have a partner adds Paranormal, denying one adds Scientific. Defending Wu Weixin against a suggestion of psychiatric treatment adds Paranormal; agreeing adds Scientific. Accepting that something may be haunting you adds Paranormal; dismissing it adds Scientific. Three forgotten replies can undo a carefully planned photo route.

A practical collection order

For an efficient collection, prepare a save before the final decision for each of the A, B, C and D score brackets, then test both final actions. Use 16 Paranormal points for A, a Paranormal majority short of perfection for B, an 8–8 tie for C, and a Scientific majority short of perfection for D. A separate run with all 16 Scientific points leads to E without the final two-way prompt.

What the creators say about the truth

In a reply to a player, the creators identified ending A as the true ending while emphasizing the theme that the truth you see depends on what you believe. The mystery takes place in a northern Chinese town in 2004, following forensic student Xu Yuan and her work at Rainborn Café. The forum's conflicting explanations are central to that framing.

Version, evidence and verification limits

The official downloads are labeled v1.0.1. The bilingual walkthrough was posted on September 29, 2025, and checked on October 20, 2026. The game page offers browser play and desktop downloads, with English and Simplified Chinese listed as supported languages.

This is a developer-sourced route reconstruction, not a claim to have played and reproduced all nine endings. The embedded game screens, current in-game wording, all forum navigation and every CG remain untested here. Search volume has not been measured.

Conclusion

The key is to plan five score brackets, not nine unrelated stories. Save at the final fork for A–D, and remember that the temple fortune counts twice and the forum contributes three more decisions. An all-Scientific run is the ninth outcome on its own.
