## Wire brief

The game is now available for purchase in China, and the store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3610790/Hope_in_the_City/) is accessible without region restrictions.

In terms of event timeline, the game will launch simultaneously on Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox PC Store, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass (XGP) from day one, supporting cross-platform play via Xbox Play Anywhere. According to IT Home from the store page, the standard edition of the game is originally priced at ¥76, with a 10% launch discount available until November 25, making the discounted price ¥68.4; additionally, the Soundtrack Edition is also available, with a discounted price of ¥78.66.

Public information also mentions: the game fully supports simplified Chinese interface and subtitles, but does not include Chinese voice acting. It also supports English, Korean, Japanese, and traditional Chinese interfaces and subtitles, with full audio provided in English. Story and gameplay: The game is set in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang, and the protagonist is 17-year-old art student Song Xiwang. The official story description is as follows: 17-year-old Song Xiwang originally thought that the college entrance exam was her biggest worry… until she returned home to find the house in chaos and her parents missing. Seventeen-year-old Song Xiwang becomes the only person willing to seek the truth.

Follow-up observation points include: This work adopts a nonlinear narrative structure, and players will conduct investigations from the perspective of a painter. The core tool is a sketchbook: players collect clues by observing scene details and combine any two ideas in the notebook to form insights and breakthroughs, thereby unlocking new dialogues, locations, and clues, gradually uncovering increasingly strange and dark family secrets. The official team invited an artist to create over 100 hand-drawn illustrations for the sketchbook and designed unique responses for each clue combination, encouraging players to experiment freely. Development background and honors: The development team previously created the GDC "Best in Play" award-winning work "Sky of Tides," as well as the animated feature "Eternal Spring," which was nominated for an Annie Award and competed for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
