ABOUT THE GAME
Proceed through the temple looking for common words and phrases
吟游诗人的生生 is a character puzzle based on modern Chinese. A bard who has lost the power to manipulate words visits a temple where eight books are buried. Proceed through sentences and options, and choose a path by considering the rules for the words written on the door.
GAMEPLAY
Words are swapped for each question.
On the screen are the words written on the two doors on the left and right, and the options to proceed to each. When the room changes, the words and phrases used for comparison also change.

Read the text and choose the link
To move or explore, click on the options below the text. The focus is on reading the displayed words and explanations, rather than reflex operations.
Books found throughout the temple
Proceed to multiple locations from the main hall (center hall) and search for books. Missing book titles are also displayed, so you can explore while looking at the differences in each location.
Thinking about rules from the results of two choices
When you select one of the doors on the left and right that have words written on them, the response to your selection will be displayed. Think not only about the combinations in front of you, but also about the rules that are common to the questions.
