About This Game

Seven years ago, you made a promise to each other beneath a ginkgo tree.

Seven years later, you still remember her answer.

Does she remember, too?

You are Nie Zhiyuan, an ordinary student who excels at math but struggles with just about every other subject. A seating assignment at the start of a new term brings you together with Wang Gefei. You bicker in class and spend time together after school. Little by little, the girl who can frustrate you and make you laugh in equal measure becomes the person you most want by your side.

But with a school transfer looming, you’re forced to face the feelings you’ve never dared put into words. Beneath the ginkgo tree, whether you hold back or find your courage will lead your relationship down different paths.

If the two of you can keep your promise, you’ll share your high school and university years, right up to a research internship before graduation. At last, a life together seems just around the corner.

Then, on the very first day of your internship, a breakup comes without warning—and suddenly, even the past you know so well begins to feel unfamiliar. You’re certain of what happened. Yet the answers you receive tell a completely different story.

What did all those days together leave behind?

And what has the girl you remember lived through?

The story takes place in a future where quantum technology has become part of everyday life. Laughter at school and playful teasing between lovers intertwine with secrets gradually coming to light at a research institute. As clues emerge, you’ll revisit details that once seemed unimportant, tracing the connections between memory and time.

Experience a romance that begins at school, unfolding through dialogue, narration, and the choices you make at key moments. Some feelings are hidden in jokes. Some secrets are kept in silence. And some answers take years to understand.

The ginkgo tree is still there.

This time, what will you say to her?
