Fools, Maniacs and Liars is a suspenseful narrative game set in China.

Background

• The story unfolds in the fictional ceramic county in southern Fujian—Wushan.

• Since ancient times, a giant Buddha known as "Mida" has stood upon Mount Wushan. Countless folk tales surround the statue—some even say Mida is alive.

• Then, one day in 2009, the Buddha vanished into thin air. And a half-century enigma was about to come to light.

Story

• This is a realist tale shot through with magical realism and absurdity—a story born of a tumultuous age.

• Woven from layers of suspense and dark humor, the chronicle of the Wushan Great Buddha's demise begins.

• The story twists and turns through constant peril and escalating mysteries, where nothing is certain until the final revelation.

Cinematic Narrative

• With cinematic visuals and carefully crafted sound design, you'll experience a feast of Chinese aesthetics.

• Comic-panel framing is woven throughout the game, lending a distinctive atmosphere and a smooth gameplay cadence.

Multiple Characters

• Step into the roles of six distinct characters—one after another—returning to the month before the Mida's disappearance to uncover the truth.

• Six characters, each with a markedly different personality, background, and way of getting by. Under the compassionate gaze of Mida, their fates seem preordained, yet still brim with possibility.
