Info about Revenge on gold diggers : Official game description: Special Note: ------------- Fully uncut, just like the first release. About the Game: --------------- The first-ever FMV game about emotional fraud, brought to life by Chinese director Hu Yaohui and a team of film industry veterans. In this entirely fictional story, step into the role of a hunter of hearts and infiltrate a shadowy organization deep in emotional deceit. In this immersive, third-person cinematic experience, every choice matters as you navigate a treacherous web of lies, seduction, and manipulation. The game features **472 minutes of cinematic footage**, over **200 choices**, and **38 possible endings**. You can also explore the Love Dossier with over 140,000 words, and interact with others on the Wall of Memories, which already contains more than **4,000 player comments**. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comes with both Standard and Master modes. One purchase gives you the full experience, with no microtransactions or extra fees. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game uses patented video encoding (HD, 6000 kbps) to keep file sizes manageable and avoid taking up excessive hard drive space. 2K and 4K upgrade packs are in development and will be available for free once completed. **On Pricing:** --------------- We've set the price lower than most FMV games of this scale. And that's a decision we stand by. Every new player who experiences this story is one more person who may think twice before falling victim to the emotional traps of modern life. We want the game to be accessible without financial pressure, and we hope more of you will also share your own stories of true love or encounters with deception. Together, let's strengthen awareness and stand guard against those who prey on emotions for financial gain. Thank you for reading. Below, you'll find the detailed introduction to the game. We're a group of creators, just ordinary people with a shared belief. We believe in ourselves, in the strength of partnership, and in the conviction that justice can and will prevail. That belief drove us to create a story with real weight and meaning. Together with a Hong Kong director who understands the delicate games of emotion and the complexities of human nature, we set out to do what others often avoid: **confront the uncomfortable, and reveal the realities many prefer to keep hidden.** Through interactive storytelling, this game draws you into carefully designed emotional traps. Can you spot the subtle manipulations at play, and make the choices that will help you break free—or even turn the tables? Within this fictional tale of revenge, you'll catch a glimpse of the very real schemes that exist in modern life, and perhaps discover ways to protect yourself. We believe that only by shining a light on the problem does change become possible. **And we'd like you to stand with us, shoulder to shoulder, in seeking that change.** Every smile, every move tightens the noose, and behind every tender touch, a blade of greed waits in shadow. You play as Wu Yulun, a man once shattered by betrayal, who deliberately turns himself into bait to strike back at a ruthless gold-digger ring. Step into the murky depths of love and deceit, navigating a perilous game against dazzling women, each one a force to be reckoned with. A kind yet vulnerable rookie streamer. A model wrapped in candy-coated charm. A popular influencer who bends public opinion to her will. A cold-blooded fixer lurking in the shadows. And above them all, the unseen mastermind orchestrating it all. This is no lighthearted romance sim. It's a test of wit, will, and emotional endurance, where every move is a battle between power and vulnerability. **Will you emerge as the hunter, or become the prey?** This is no game of right and wrong. In a world where desire and deception walk hand in hand, every choice carries weight. What shade will your moral compass take? Pure white? Pitch black? Or will you tread the razor's edge of gray in pursuit of your oh-so-sweet revenge? Just beware: here, where the line between hunter and hunted blurs, a single misstep could plunge you into ruin. With over 200 decisions to make, your words and actions don't just shape the story. They quietly tilt the scales of obsession, drawing you toward one of 38 endings. Will you stand as avenger or redeemer? Yield to temptation, or seal an unholy pact with your sworn enemy? The die of destiny rattles, and your path lies open before you. **Secrets Laid Bare: What Their Masks Don't Tell** -------------------------------------------------- Unlock **67 character profiles** brimming with secrets most would rather keep hidden—diary entries, past events, and silent cries from the heart. What shaped them into who they are now? Greed? Desire? Or truths far more sinister? Uncover their hidden realities, and in doing so, test the mettle of your soul. **The Love Dossier is your personal guide to spotting emotional traps:** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In real life, manipulation can be subtle and everywhere. And that's precisely why we want to equip you with the tools to see through it. With **105 scenario analyses** and over **140,000 words**, the Dossier is divided into five core chapters: * **Insight** – Rebuild your emotional foundation and prepare for love * **Allure** – Spark first impressions and let your charm shine * **Intimacy** – Navigate the push and pull of relationships * **Harmony** – Maintain long-term bonds and overcome relationship challenges * **Watchful** – Stay aware, recognize traps, and protect your heart Blending psychology, sociology, and relationship dynamics, these guides break down manipulative tactics step by step. Learn to spot the traps, guard your boundaries, and act intentionally for genuine connections. Every insight helps you safeguard your heart, and maybe even your love. **You're not fighting alone: this is a safe, supportive space.** ---------------------------------------------------------------- Raising awareness about emotional fraud and learning to protect yourself takes collective wisdom. That's why we created the Wall of Memories—a secure, anonymous space for everyone. Here, you can: * Share the pitfalls you've encountered and the lessons you've learned. * Talk about your experiences of being deceived or noticing manipulation. * Exchange strategies and reflections on navigating emotional traps. * Inspire others with your stories of true love. Join the Wall of Memories to share your stories and insights, support one another, and together we can shine a light on the dark corners of deceit and grow stronger as a community. **Love Dossier – Community: Let's Fight Heartbreak & Love Fraud Together!** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every story you share helps build a stronger defense against emotional fraud. Your hard-won lessons and insights can light the way for others, and may even be included and expanded in the \[Community\] part of the Love Dossier, which continues to grow with contributions like yours. **Staying Ahead: Your Ongoing Survival Guide** ---------------------------------------------- Emotional traps keep changing, and staying prepared means keeping up. The Survival Guide is regularly updated with fresh insights, strategies, and resources (articles, videos, and expert perspectives) all in one place. With a single click, you can save anything useful to your own notes, so the knowledge is always at hand whenever you need it. * Sorry… this isn't a perfect game. From the moment we decided to tackle emotional fraud and reveal the hidden manipulations in love, we knew we were stepping onto dangerous ground. It's a topic full of risk and controversy, one that hits uncomfortably close to real life. Unlike romance sims that are easier to fund or supported by well-known IPs, we knew from the start that our path would be a difficult one. * Sorry... we couldn't do better. We're a small team just starting out, and resources were tight. With so much content to manage and circumstances beyond our control, the game has its rough edges. Some sections might linger longer than expected, while others feel rushed. Voices were recorded after filming, so they may not always carry the immediacy of live performance. Camera work was sometimes limited by shooting conditions, and the technical polish may not reach the level of big-budget productions. We know the gaps are there, and we feel them too. * Sorry... there are things we couldn't fully express, and some truths we had to tread lightly around, and others we were forced to avoid altogether. Endings needed to lean toward the positive, staying within the rules and avoiding darker territory. Unseen boundaries imposed by media platforms forced compromises in a few places. We wanted to explore deeper, to be more forthright, but in some cases, we simply couldn't. As a result, parts of the experience may feel held back, or softer than you might expect. * That's a lot of sorries. But they're not meant to seek sympathy or make excuses. We just want to be honest: within all these constraints, we poured everything we had into making this game with a clear conscience. Every member of the team dedicated their heart and soul to the project. Director Hu shared his life experiences and insights generously. One key staff member even ended up in emergency care from the stress of filming. Many parts of the game were completed at extremely low personal cost, with team members contributing despite having themselves been deceived. Our efforts weren't just professional duty, but a form of resistance against certain realities. We gave everything we could, awkwardly, stubbornly, and with all our strength, to follow the path we believed was right. * Did we ever regret taking this difficult path? The answer is no. Seeing our community's passionate messages and feeling the weight of your trust and support warms our hearts and makes all the fatigue vanish. In that moment, every hardship feels worth it. You make our effort feel worthwhile. Being able to come together and make our voices heard, to stand together against those who exploit love for deceit. That's what drives us. * So please believe us when we say: no matter how much noise or how many challenges lie ahead, we'll stand tall. * The noise doesn't scare us. What we care about is staying true to ourselves, because in the end, we fight for you. _Huge thanks to the Yeehe translation team—Mattias, Eric, and Andy—for their incredible work on the English edition!
