An Original Visual Novel

Bogeys, Ghosts & Gods draws upon the Eastern supernatural elements of the classic Chinese ghost story collection Tales from a Chinese Studio (Liaozhai Zhiyi). Boldly breaking free from the constraints of traditional adaptations, it weaves together Eastern folklore, fantasy adventure, and higher-dimensional sci-fi concepts to construct an original visual novel.

Narratively, the game takes the endings of several original chapters as the starting points for new characters, spinning untold, mysterious webs of cause and effect that are seamlessly woven into the main storyline. This is not a conventional adaptation; the story stands completely on its own, allowing players to become fully immersed with absolutely no prior reading required.

Nonlinear Narrative

Explore the pasts and endings of a diverse cast of characters—humans, demons, ghosts, and even gods—whose lives shape the young protagonist's growth.

Each character has their own thoughts and obsessions, yet they all seem forever bound by the will of “heavenly fate”.

Traditional Art

Game graphics are primarily drawn on paper, with artists using tools such as pencils, fine-liner pens, brush pens, and ink to create their work.
