The Last Letter in the Fog

Story premise

Shanghai, 1937. Torrential rain engulfs the Shenjiang Evening News. You play reporter Shen Yanqiu, who receives an unsent letter late at night. The copper key and half an index card enclosed with it cast doubt once more on whether an old acquaintance is alive or dead. A former colleague warns you not to open the last page, yet a mysterious woman beneath the clock tower seems to know you inside out. Investigate the letter, trust the newcomer, or simply walk away—when everyone is hiding part of the past, what will you base your judgment of the truth on?

Content overview

This is an interactive mystery with a film noir aesthetic. Rain-soaked streets, a stopped clock tower, an old newspaper office where the ink is still wet, and dimly lit docks form a Shanghai woven with intersecting secrets. The recurring cries of newspaper boys and the out-of-sync chimes of the clock lend even familiar streets an inexplicable strangeness. At key moments, you will decide Shen Yanqiu's actions: trace the letter's origins, confront those who know more, follow suspicious figures, or choose to read the investigation notes and listen to recordings first. Pay attention to each person's choice of words, the objects they carry, and details in the archives as you decide whom to trust amid conflicting accounts. As the investigation deepens, the responsibility to make evidence public will clash with the desire to protect others. The story features multiple endings, and your choices about truth, trust, and compromise will lead to different conclusions.
