Introduction Wei's Vesper was originally serialized in Good News from September 2014 to June 2017. This game edition has been revised, produced, and published by the Good News Editorial Office based on the original serialized text. This is a narrative-driven visual novel with multiple endings, unfolding as a poetic journey through everyday life. Players progress through a branching, choice-based narrative that follows Wei Shi across shifting perspectives and fragmented days. There are no stat systems, character builds, or gameplay mechanics beyond dialogue and decision-making. Over the course of a 10+ hour experience, players drift through a student-like phenomenology of an unfamiliar world—observing, choosing, and reinterpreting identity within an ever-shifting horizon. “Judging only from its opening, it is easy to mistake this for yet another interactive novel that flaunts its second-hand knowledge while trying to answer the question, ‘Who am I?’ Yet in its daily conversations, handled with a light and careful touch, and as I drifted with Wei Shi through its kaleidoscopic endless night and inexhaustible archive, I rediscovered the pleasure of reading itself: generous and fulfilling, earnest and at ease. When the host rises to pour you tea, many friends come to mind. It offers no lesson, and promises no astonishment. Instead, through an itinerary of strange and extravagant subjects, it feasts the reader with the abundance of names. A work that is both line and loop; a work lively and lonely; a work that keeps making faces at you, yet somehow remains impossible to dislike. Despite certain lapses in intellectual judgment, and despite the apprentice marks scattered throughout its prose, Wei's Vesper is undoubtedly worth reading as a supplement to a perspective abandoned too early.” — Chen Youhu, editor of the Young Writers column, Good News “Very fun.” — Lü Jianhui, editor-in-chief of Good News Story Each morning, Wei Shi of Class 4, Senior Year 3 at Liucheng High School wakes up and, without knowing it, becomes a stranger, living through a brand-new day in someone else’s place. When they return home at night, Wei Shi recognizes today’s self in the mirror and returns the briefly borrowed identity. On the hyperplane known as Liucheng, what kind of reference frame will you make of Wei Shi? You may follow the footsteps of a mysterious girl, delving into the city’s secrets while asking who you really are. Or you may walk alongside an eccentric male classmate, slowly remaking yourself in forgetfulness. On New Year’s Eve in Liucheng, you will finally call out the name of the person in the mirror, and remember the waveform of happiness that belongs to you.
