Written at the End

This is our first time challenging a game adapted from TV series. In fact, up until now, our hearts are still full of anxiety. Our experience and strength will be seriously challenged, because Cat’s Cradle has a high popularity and influence in China. Worry and anxiety constantly haunt our team.

We spent nearly a year watching novels and TV series intensively, investigated all of the analysis and comments on the network, and finally determined our path after countless iterations of the scheme. We will divide the game into five chapters: “The Preface,” “Chapter 1: Mom,” “Chapter 2: Dad,” “Chapter 3: Friends,” and “Final.” Through these five chapters, we want to express the family relations, family affection, education, and friendship of teenagers in reality, which may resonate with players in reality. We hope to offer players not only the story, atmosphere, and entertainment of gameplay, but also some deep thoughts about the harm of original family during the growth of teenagers.
