Threads of Karma, developed solo by 萝卜不长毛, is a Chinese folk horror text-based game.

The story begins with the most ordinary of days. Lin Yue'an, a sophomore on winter vacation, drags her suitcase onto a high-speed train bound for home. Strange dreams, lost memories, and eerie events in her home seem to be just the beginning. Can she trace everything back to its true origin and escape the web of fate that has already been woven around her?

The Homebound Train

Boarding the high-speed train to her hometown alongside other students heading home, Lin finds herself plunged into a bizarre, ever-deepening dream.

Is it a premonition? Or fragmented pieces of forgotten memories coming together?

Unusual Occurrences at Home

But the resignation of the housekeeper, scattered toys, and an amulet inexplicably appearing in her pocket hint at subtle abnormalities. Where will these clues lead?

Lost Memories

Her late parents remain frozen in time within the photo frames.

Do the memories buried deep within her mind hold cherished moments with her parents, or are they hiding secrets left untold?

Breaking Free from the Threads of Karma

Greed arises from the human heart.
Events are strung together by the threads of karma.
