Insects Awaken is a masterfully crafted visual novel/RPG hybrid that places players in the politically volatile world of 1940s China, during the turbulent Republic of China era (1912–1949). Based on Hai Fei’s novel and penned by acclaimed writer Tan Dun, this immersive espionage narrative unfolds across the historically rich cities of Chongqing and Shanghai. Every decision you make, every clue you uncover, and every person you encounter could alter the outcome of the story and history itself. Unlike typical visual novels, Insects Awaken features an innovative day-by-day progression system that allows you to replay individual days to explore alternate outcomes.
