What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I won't say much about the story since you can read the game description but it's great and the characters are cute especially He Jia she is so kawaiii hnnnhhhghh.
The music and sound design in Shan Gui also play a central role in shaping the experience.
It’s not your typical visual novel filled with choices, plot twists, or romantic entanglements—instead, Shan Gui is more of an interactive poem, relying heavily on mood, visuals, and ambient storytelling to convey its message.
I think its a matter of taste, but I personally liked the illustrations and the character design a lot.
One of the features I thought was really nice was that in the menu was the option to select backgrounds from the game to use as your desktop and I wish more games implimented something like this.
