Steam Store description

🎞️ Story Koward is a 23-year-old guy who gets tongue-tied just asking his crush out. On his girlfriend's birthday, he takes Mangostina to dinner, clutching a gift in his pocket—but the words just won't come out. In a moment of frustration, he mutters under his breath: "I'm such a coward. I'd rather choke on this food and die." Big mistake. Black and White Impermanence, desperate to hit their quarterly quota, seize the perfect excuse. They drag this "suicidal" unlucky soul straight to the underworld city of Fengdu . The judge delivers the news: Koward has never lived past 23 in any lifetime. It's not bad luck—it's a thousand-year curse, personally crafted by King Yan. The only way to break it? Escape the underworld on your own two feet. And so, a coward who couldn't even confess his love finds himself on a maddening journey through the afterlife— Catching ghosts for the River God, gambling against White Impermanence, cracking the Ksitigarbha Seven Souls Formation, storming all 18 layers of Hell, collecting three legendary instruments… But beneath all this lies a story that spans 1,300 years—a lost friendship, a debt of guilt, and a version of yourself you've long forgotten. ♥️ Characters & Bonds Across your journey through Fengdu, you'll meet two companions: Ray — A blue-haired young man caught stealing prison robes by Black and White Impermanence. At the moment of his doom, you trade one of your own souls to save him. From then on, he follows you through every circle of Hell without question. Your connection runs far deeper than a chance encounter in the afterlife…
