2026 New Year Special: Life is More Than Just Games
Message from Feng Ji (Founder of GameSci)
"Often, the so-called 'tranquility of the soul' is merely a misunderstanding—perhaps just an unconscious gratitude for a smooth digestion."
🏮 Insights from Feng Ji
On the eve of the Year of the Horse, Feng Ji released this "eerie yet heartwarming" video for Black Myth: Zhong Kui. Quoting Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, he expressed a primal understanding of life: Happiness often stems from the most stable source—"Eating."
The first real-time footage of Black Myth: Zhong Kui has arrived out of the blue. I wonder, after watching this, will you break into a knowing smile? Be left in utter confusion? Or immediately start analyzing metaphors, plot directions, or new features?
Hey, don't be so serious. Chill out.
If this New Year short film leaves you with a sense of surprise mixed with a hint of the uncanny, I’ll be quite satisfied.
I know, I know—no controls, no combat, no gameplay, and no Zhong Kui. Because... well, we haven't made them yet (just kidding).
With the New Year approaching, why not sit down and enjoy a bowl of hot soup? Watch out, it’s hot~
Life is more than just games; there are many, many more delicious things to enjoy.
