Paper Kite: Threads of Longing Demo

Wuhan Liyu Game Studio's debut work! A short pure-love GALGAME Chinese long-distance relationship story "Paper Kite"!

[Your language now supports game text translation; UI translation is in progress (click "Start Game" to run dialogue content). If you encounter translation issues, please leave feedback in the game review section—we'll resolve any language problems. Thank you!] The full game has approximately 120,000 to 200,000 words, with the trial version at around 15,000 words, covering only the initial chapters. The trial version tells the early story of Shen Luoying and Chen Yanqing, setting the stage for their separation due to distance. The full version will depict their post-separation story (expected release: late summer 2025).

Amidst Cicadas' Summer Song, Acceptance Letters Tear Open the Cracks of Youth

Through faint screen glows, they weave longing across eight hundred kilometers. Their love resembles a paper kite lifted by monsoon winds—the spool threads binding youth's most fervent obsessions, yet exposed to tempests of timezone divides, new attractions, and gnawing doubts. When trust's fragile string nears breaking point, can they catch the fleeting trade winds? This coming-of-age journey spanning latitudes and longitudes: will it become scattered kite debris... or an eternal soaring vow?

After June's gaokao results, Shen Luoying and Chen Yanqing—newly confessed lovers—are torn between Beijing and Jiangcheng universities by parental expectations and academic scores. Separated yet determined, they nurture their fragile long-distance bond through four tumultuous college years. Like a paper kite vulnerable to the slightest storm, their romance demands mutual devotion to harness life's unpredictable winds. Can they transform pressures into updrafts? Will their love withstand the turbulence... or unravel mid-flight?
