Letters from the Tide

You pause your previous career and return to a coastal town to manage "Echo Bookstore," left in your care by your aunt. With only twenty-eight days remaining on the lease, whether you can reopen the shop determines if the lights stay on next month.

On day one, rain leaks into the second floor; a restorer hands you a tape measure, a carpenter props up the sign, an actor asks for a slot to read aloud, and a bookbinder waits for your decision on an unsent letter. Shen Yan hides his care in meticulous arrangements, Zhou Ji Bai smiles and agrees to everything, Lu Zhao Ning catches lines but wants to hear the truth once, and Wen Xu Zhi is learning to let his own wishes be seen.

Get to know them individually over the first seven days. On the seventh night, you may choose someone you wish to understand better, or decide to keep this month for yourself. Afterwards, you will enter different work scenarios, invitations, disagreements, and private letters; no one gives their whole life just because you say something pretty. You don't always have to speak gently, nor do you need to abandon your career to prove your affection.

A complete route spans about thirty-eight scenes, with save support for playing in segments. After twenty-eight days, the future of the bookstore and matters of the heart are settled separately: you can date seriously, make plans for the future, or become good friends. Any reunion should be because you truly want to come back.
