The game employs metaphorical scene design to recreate cities circa the millennium era. Balancing realism with dreamcore aesthetics, these surreal-yet-authentic environments visually manifest the shared childhood memories embedded in the narrative's universe - distilling collective nostalgia into its purest archetypal form.
Three years ago, a creative impulse began stirring within me—to tell a story through games, a story exploring humanity's radiance and darkness. As both a game industry professional and lifelong gamer, I've always believed this magnificent artistic medium should carry the responsibility of meaningful expression. Gathering like-minded companions, after months of preparation, we established Chuan Studio.
Our journey since has been paved with equal parts anxiety and joy, hardship and conviction. Yet we hold firm to the adage: "Though the path is long, each step taken brings us closer."
The name "船" (chuán) emerged from a conversation with our youngest teammate. Instantly resonant, it embodies our mission: to carry stories forward, setting sail from streams into rivers, hoping ultimately to converge into the vast ocean of player experiences. May our creations find harbor in your hearts.
