Gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the game, you will explore multiple traditional Cantonese buildings from a first-person perspective, uncovering a forgotten story by interpreting the information left behind in these spaces. Players can use various tools such as books, cameras, and flashlights. Most rooms are accessible, offering a more immersive exploration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The game is fully developed using real-world scene scanning, delivering detailed visual fidelity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It includes a large number of letters, photos, documents, and maps, enriching the scenes with historical depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The story is adapted from oral histories and field research, faithfully presenting the folklore, architecture, and traditional culture of the Pearl River Delta region in China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Cultural Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    From 2022 to 2024, artist Pu Xiaoyue identified several former sites of Gupo Wu<\/em> during field investigations, most of which are at risk of collapse or demolition. In 2023, Pu Xiaoyue collaborated with Fang Zheng and Xu Xiuxian from Old Media Art<\/em> to use 3D technology to preserve these rarely documented collective spaces for unmarried women. By connecting the research findings with the life narratives of Self-comb Women<\/em>, the project introduces marginalized female communities from historical archives to a broader audience through the medium of a game. All spatial scenes in this game are based on on-site scans of Gupo Wu<\/em> in the Pearl River Delta region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
