While I don't hesitate to give this game near-perfect marks for writing and atmosphere, I must unfortunately rank it as less-than-average on gameplay, and the plot is only of average quality. [...] Play it, if only for the writing; immerse yourself in the atmosphere, let the gently flowing prose entice you away from the usually cold and logical world of computers, enjoy for a while the subtle simplicity of this world of imagination [...]

You will immediately realise from the title of the adventure that this is a game which draws heavily on Chinese philosophy and very much embodies the ethos of a non-violent approach to life. This is superbly conveyed in Erica Sadun's writing which is beautifully descriptive and quite eloquent throughout. However, though the 40+ (so far!) locations and the various characters are described in detail, some of the responses are somewhat limited. Many times I examined something of interest only to be greeted with 'That's just scenery!' and the number of commands which are understood is rather small.
