The Empty Register / 空名录

Short description: Restore an old online memorial. Search photographs, messages, and fellowship records for the gaps a name has left behind.

A handover email asks you to take over the old site of Baixi Memorial.

Some links are broken. Some records have moved more than once. The photographs, family messages, and volunteer notes remain—but their accounts of the same person no longer agree.

Follow the records further and you will find the forums, old creed, and manuscripts of the White Seat Fellowship. They leave an empty seat for names that receive no answer. Yet the records they preserved seem to be waiting for someone to answer them.

The Empty Register is a single-player investigation and psychological horror game set among the remnants of the Chinese web. Browse fictional old websites, recover original addresses, and compare sources as a forgotten faith comes into view through ordinary lives.

• Follow evidence across web pages, forum posts, handwritten notes, photographs, and recordings.
• Preserve records in your evidence folder, work through the main investigation, and explore optional archives.
• Use built-in transcripts, document comparison, an equivalent silent audio-checking tool, and optional hints.
• Switch between complete English and Simplified Chinese text in the same download. Chinese audio and original documents include English captions and readings.
• Downloadable Windows and macOS versions, playable offline. No account or external puzzle software is required.

Content notes: Bereavement, missing people, unsettling themes of identity and memory, fictional religion, and supernatural ritual. Includes occasional sudden sounds and visual changes. Text size, volume, mute, and reduced-shock options are available.

Production note: AI tools assisted with the story, code, and some images, character audio, and video. The game also uses licensed open-source fonts, icons, and environmental audio. Full credits and licenses are included. Its people, places, religious organization, and events are fictional. No online generative AI is used during play.

空名录 / The Empty Register

一句话： 整理一座旧网络纪念馆，在照片、留言与教团档案之间，追查一个名字留下的空缺。

一封交接邮件，请你接手白席纪念馆的旧站整理。

有些入口已经失效，有些资料迁移过几次。照片、家庭留言和志愿者的记录仍在，关于同一个人的说法却无法彼此对上。

继续追查，你会找到白席会留下的论坛、旧信条与抄本。他们为无人回应的名字留一席空位。可那些留存下来的记录，似乎仍在等谁回应。

《空名录》是一款以老中文互联网为背景的单人调查解谜与心理恐怖游戏。你将浏览虚构旧网页、寻找原始地址、核对材料出处，并在逐渐显露的信仰与日常生活之间作出判断。

• 通过网页、帖子、照片背书、纸本和录音交叉调查。
• 在证据夹中保留记录，核对主线结论，并探索可选档案。
• 使用内置转录、图文比对、静音校验及分级提示。
• 完整中英文文本可在同一运行包内切换；中文原声与原件配英文字幕和译读。
• Windows与macOS桌面版本，下载后离线游玩；无需账号或外部解谜工具。

内容提示： 涉及丧亲、失踪、身份与记忆的不安、虚构宗教及超自然仪式，包含少量突发声音和画面变化。可调文字大小、音量、静音和减弱惊吓。

制作说明： 剧情、程序及部分图像、人物声音与影像在AI工具辅助下制作，包含获授权的开源字体、图标与环境声；完整来源及许可随游戏提供。故事人物、地点、宗教组织和事件均为虚构。游戏运行不调用在线生成AI。
