《Inner Scales 1:Choice》is a first-person FMV. Set in a sealed cage. It pushes survival, humanity, emotion and moral dilemmas to the extreme. You will face surveillance, cages, and the fates of eight trapped women—every choice you make decides life and death for others and yourself. Backstory Zhang Cheng, a new office worker, accepts a mysterious out-of-town assignment to secure his permanent position and earn extra money: four days of confined delivery work, no mobile phones allowed, with a daily pay of 1,000 yuan. Thinking it’s just a simple part-time job, he instead enters a heavily guarded suburban prison building. Here, he delivers meals and takes body measurements for eight unknown women on the second floor each day, only to gradually discover they were all kidnapped. The entire building is under surveillance, its walls wired with high-voltage electricity, and corpses in identical prison uniforms are buried at the corners. A mysterious figure in black, who controls everything, never shows up and only issues cold orders. As the four-day deadline approaches, Zhang Cheng finally realizes the truth: the organization never intended to set anyone free, and he himself has long been part of their twisted game. He can follow the rules, finish the four days, take the money, and leave—letting the eight women meet their unknown fates. Or he can disobey orders, risk his life, and use a food cart that can hide only one person to make the heaviest choice of his life: Who to save? Who to leave behind? Who are you willing to risk your life for? Character Introduction Zhao Mengyao A confident live-streamer with a sensitive physique.
