I heard that in a certain corner of South Street,
a young painter
is devoting himself to sketching —
you might just brush past
the author of that painting on the street.

Triangle Power
Amidst the monster's presence, three currents run deep
Colonial Government
Superstition? Crack down.
In the eyes of the authorities, all creatures are superstitions to be eradicated. The local officers must be polite in the presence of officials from the mainland; those from the island are often looked down upon.
Spirit Management Bureau
Act as if nothing happened.
A bureau authorized by the gods, formed by those with Yin-Yang eyes, dedicated to maintaining the facade that "there are no monsters in the world." Zhong Jinghua and Mingjue are here to stamp documents and listen to oracles — the system is rigid, yet many passionate individuals exist at the grassroots level.
Local Beliefs
The neighbors take care of it themselves.
Gods, monsters, and locals work together to guard the secrets of this street. The changelings seek to make a living, and the neighbors turn a blind eye — this is the nature of the people of South Street.
Your background and profession determine your position among these three parties.

WHO ARE YOU

Fall · 1930
▪ Name:
▪ Gender:
▪ Race: 🌅Human (Yin-Yang Eye sees · Pure human · Passerby) or 🌌Non-human (Half-demon · Demonic blood seen · Kin · With demonic power, see fork in the road above) Half-demons can write: half-fox-demon/half-cat-yokai/half-vampire/whatever
▪ Demon Technique Tendency: (Half-demon only, mortals skip) Write a direction according to your demon type — illusion, transformation, manipulation, charm, fox fire... as for how strong it can be, determined by demonic power: small spells consume less, large spells consume heavily; if used up, you might fall asleep in the street. You cannot produce things that you do not naturally possess.
▪ Background: Modern nationality determines your social position in the colony (distinct from race, can overlap)
▪ Modern Profession: What do you do in 2026? Medicine, art, history, engineering... skills that do not exist in 1930 will be your biggest asset
▪ Personality:
▪ Appearance: Hair color, eye color, height, weight (?!
Author's Note
[ ! Hint One ] All elements of name, personality, appearance, and background are flexible, create as you please. The only thing you must choose first is your race: 🌅Human sees monsters through Yin-Yang Eye, is a pure human passerby; 🌌Non-human is a half-demon, sees through demonic blood, is of the same kind as demons, gains a sense of demonic power (if you use it recklessly, you might fall asleep in the street), the two openings are different, and the play styles differ.
[ ! Hint Two ] The author personally recommends: choose a profession from 2026, knowledge unavailable in 1930 will pave your way (a medical student can take the "benevolent doctor" route); If you want to play with the tension of the colonial era, try being a modern Japanese person who has crossed over — you will be treated with more respect than locals, yet feel uncomfortable in your own skin. Race and background positions are two axes that can overlap, half-demons can also choose Japanese or Taiwanese.
Guided AI · Miss Yin
Hiss... Welcome to use this guided service. This system is called "Miss Yin," taking its name from the painting you just saw. On this journey, I will translate and guide you in your ear, occasionally making comments.
I remind you: this is Dadaocheng, Taiwan in 1930, full of monsters disguised as people, and you happen to have eyes that can see through them. But don’t worry — this isn’t a horror game. Most changelings here are just trying to get by, so feel free to stroll, ask questions, and make friends.
The only advice is: when encountering a truly unreasonable big fellow, "running away" is always a respectable choice. As for physical spiritual exorcism... that's a last resort.
Hiss... By the way, you can call my system functions at any time during your journey, just type the commands in the chatbox:
The first four items are just me sorting and reading them to you, simple enough for any model to manage, DeepSeek works too. But for that newspaper, I must render the entire page from scratch for you — that can be strenuous. If you want a sophisticated newspaper, it's recommended to pair it with Claude or Gemini; leaving it to DeepSeek... you're likely to only get half a newspaper, so don’t blame me for not reminding you.

Hi everyone, I tried to craft an open-world exploration in six days... and ended up completing it in three!? Sleepless and nonstop 😵 The song "On the Journey" by Natsumi Kiura kept echoing in my mind, so step into this world with a relaxed and joyful heart!
The creation of this card half stems from my personal desire, and half to participate in the 18th Contest. I really love to play in open-world explorations — on this stage, you can perform however you like, and changing Personas provides different experiences. History doesn't have to be perfect; immerse yourself in the customs of the era!

Flagship
Claude Opus 4.7 / 4.8 · In-depth narrative, romantic prose. ✦ Definitely give this a try for narrative peaks; the humanity and monstrousness of South Street are most flavorful.
Purple G
Gemini 3.5 · Neutral in the middle, can be alternated with Claude, economical and affordable.
Note
DeepSeek experience not recommended; use it judiciously.

This work is dedicated to Dadaocheng in 1930, its customs and beliefs, and to Guo Xuehu’s "Rich Relief in South Street".
The Temple of the City God of Rainbow Bay, the Yong'an Society, and the "Daily News" are all fictional. This work respects Taiwan's indigenous beliefs and cultural heritage; any fictional elements are unintended and not meant to offend.
