"Jin Xiao Apartment Incident" is a live-action FMV mystery game featuring security guard simulation mechanics.
The story takes place in Jin Xiao Apartments, an old building slated for demolition.
A series of bizarre murders occur within the apartment complex: a female writer is found hanged, an editor drowns, a security guard falls to his death, and a resident is stabbed. The culprit, known as "Frog Man," posts confessions online, openly challenging authorities.
As the demolition deadline approaches, the truth behind a serial case spanning the New Year is about to be revealed through surveillance monitors and rumors.

Gameplay centers on clue collection and deduction, offering high autonomy in the reasoning process, with all actions serving to piece together the truth.
This is a modern urban fable about voyeurism, lies, and trust.
Amidst a web woven from surveillance footage and online rumors, a covert investigation into the truth begins.
The screen becomes your eyes, the mouse your weapon, and the truth may be hidden in the next frame.
Live-action footage creates a highly immersive, cinematic experience.
Original electronic music and ambient sound effects precisely evoke a complex mix of suspense, tension, and alienation.

Players assume the role of an undercover journalist (posing as a night-shift security guard), interacting with various residents, property staff, and supervisors within the apartment.
