Players will take on the role of the genius surgeon Salvio Shen, who, after years of studying abroad, returns home to find his girlfriend dead due to a flood. In his grief, he returns to the county town's Hongqiang Hospital, where he passes through numerous trials to enter "Ward No. 9," in order to fulfill his girlfriend's last wish and find out the cause of his own never-seen daughter's death.
Hongqiang Hospital is a public-private partnership hospital converted from a temporary shelter during the flood five years ago, controlled by the major shareholder, Medical Bureau Director David Ma , and the hospital director Fred Xu. "Ward No. 9" is rumored to be haunted by a LakeLady, and children are often said to be taken away by it. Salvio suspects that his daughter Selene's disappearance is related to the water ghost incidents...
The patients in Ward No. 9 are all children, and Salvio has developed a bond with them. Taking advantage of his position, he begins to investigate and unexpectedly encounters the water ghost! Soon after, a girl mysteriously disappears...
With a common goal, Salvio , with the help of his girlfriend's sister Ryann Zhang, his university friend Melinda Gu , and the single mother Yarona Lin who has lost her child, gets closer to the truth. In the missing list, he finds his daughter's name, and more and more clues related to the disappearance case are emerging...
Is it the work of the LakeLady? Or a conspiracy within the hospital? Is it a power game involving organ trafficking and corruption among the elite? Or an underground deal that cannot balance emotions and interests? The one-eyed LakeLady, the missing children, the secretive women, the smiling hospital director, what exactly happened after the flood five years ago? What does the existence of "Ward No. 9" represent?
V1.1 Final Cut Version Update
1. Added Story Cut Edition: At the start of the game, players can now choose this mode to experience a streamlined story. It compresses all plotlines into one, retaining ten complete story arcs with a re-edited narrative. Date prompts are provided during gameplay, ensuring a clear progression through all events while preserving all achievements. This edition features only one slightly different ending. However, to align originally parallel events into a sequential order, some time gaps have been introduced compared to the original \"Story Cut Edition.\" The original version is retained as the \"Launch Decision Edition,\" and players\' existing save files remain accessible in this mode.
2. Comprehensive UI Optimization: The game interface and settings UI have been enhanced with improved button guidance and richer visual effects.
3. Mini-Game Optimization: Refined the controls and feel for certain interactive mini-games.
4. Full Controller Support: The game now fully supports controllers for all aspects, including story progression, mini-games, and the title interface. In controller mode, some mini-games feature different gameplay mechanics, and difficult mini-games can be skipped.
5. Font and Localization Improvements: Replaced fonts with more compatible alternatives, largely eliminating inconsistent font usage. Addressed occasional Chinese text appearing in English and Japanese localizations, as well as simplified Chinese characters appearing in traditional Chinese localizations. Standardized pronouns in Japanese and English localizations and corrected some subtitle translations.
