01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Endings
The plot follows Lin Xiaocou as he unexpectedly hosts a proud vampire and a lively witch. Their interactions explore themes of mortality, companionship, and the tension between eternal life and fleeting moments. Players make choices that lead to one of four clearly different conclusions, ranging from embracing eternity to cherishing the present. Each path reflects how the protagonist balances the desires of his supernatural housemates with his own humanity.
- Observe how each character reacts to your decisions; subtle dialogue hints often foreshadow the ending you’re heading toward.
- Consider the long‑term implications of accepting an immortal life versus preserving the limited time you have.

Vampire Character
The vampire, voiced by w小璃, is over three hundred years old, proud, and initially cold. She despises trouble yet becomes a homebody who enjoys Lin's company, hiding inner turmoil behind a haughty demeanor. Her backstory includes fleeing an unchanging castle life and viewing Lin's house as a temporary base. Over time she grows curious about human mortality and forms a deeper bond with the protagonist.

- Her aristocratic speech may mask vulnerability—listen for moments when she expresses genuine affection.

Witch Character
The witch, voiced by 舟玄, is over one hundred years old, lively, and clumsy. A magical accident stopped her aging, leaving her with endless curiosity and a belief that "fun" is life’s creed. She entered Lin's home after a teleportation mishap and stayed after tasting his desserts. Though prone to minor mishaps, she strives to blend into human life and gradually learns to express her true self.
- Her cheerful exterior often hides deeper sensitivity; notice when her mood shifts dramatically.
- She values “fun” above all—engaging in lighthearted activities can strengthen her trust.
