As 2026 begins,
we just want to say thank you
to everyone who spent time with The Parallel (诡闻斋).
If you enjoy story-heavy visual novels,
slow-burn characters,
and choices that actually matter,
then you probably understand what we focused on in 2025.
This past year wasn’t about chasing trends.
It was about refining what already existed—
rewriting, restructuring, and polishing
until each story felt closer to what it was meant to be.
Ghost in the Pool, Concealed, and Weirdo
are very different games,
but they share the same core ideas:
Choices are not decoration
Characters are not disposable
Endings don’t always give clear answers
In 2025, we also completed the full release of the trilogy
across Steam and Nintendo Switch,
carefully adapting the experience for handheld reading.
In 2026, we’ll continue expanding the world of Di Yingling High.
Characters will return.
Connections will deepen.
The bigger picture will slowly come into focus.
If you’ve played our games—
whether you loved them or had mixed feelings—
we truly welcome your thoughts.
Your feedback shapes what The Parallel will become.
Happy New Year.
We hope to meet you again in the next story.
