What players say

完美的一天 / A Perfect Day is a very good game. The story is quite philosophical with a innovative gameplay. The drawing designs are really beautiful and the soundtrack is nice. I highly recommend it!!!💙

Really good game and innovative gameplay, the content is fun yet quite philosophical too Only thing is that the story plot is quite specific to a generation so you need some knowledge of 90s China to enjoy the game fully, but I wouldn't say it's so important given that the game gives really good details of its background anyways Overall 10/10. Easily one of my favorites

A Perfect Day presents a bittersweet story, you will revisit the 90s and play an elementary schoolboy who lacks the courage to give a card to his favorite classmate. In the endless loop of the last day of 1999, you find out the secrets of your classmates. ground to reality and in a position to create some truly heart-warming feelings. Unfortunately, many of the secondary characters are devoid of any personality...
