RE.Creature: Tai Sui

TAI SUI is a fairly new game in Chongqing and one of the biggest positive surprises of our entire China trip, honestly one of the absolute highlights among the 57 rooms we played across the country. We only had a single day in Chongqing and managed to play five rooms, and TAI SUI was clearly my personal favorite.

The game only opened in July 2026 and is so far the only title from RE.CREATURE. The designer is no newcomer to the scene, though, having already made a name for himself with THE LIVING IMMORTAL by DRAGON GALLERY. What’s especially impressive is that the build time was just seven months. Given the size of the game, around 1,500 square meters, along with the incredible level of detail and the high quality of the set, that’s remarkably fast. TAI SUI is designed for large groups of six to ten players, which alone gives it a very different kind of experience.

TAI SUI is set in the isolated village of Taisui, where generations of inbreeding have left the villagers with strange illnesses and increasing disfigurement. The village’s folklore ties back to the legend of Nüwa, who once created humanity: anyone who performs enough good deeds earns the right to take part in their own “creation ritual.” In reality, that means abusing a young girl named Earthworm and turning her into a tool to keep the village’s bloodline going.

As players, you take on the role of villagers and meet Earthworm, who asks for your help: 1011 good deeds are meant to earn her freedom. Along the way, through various puzzles and scenes, you experience what she’s been through, being secretly watched, punished for stealing food, left hungry, humiliated. Her greatest wish is to turn into a butterfly and finally be free. But as we all know, earthworms never become butterflies. In the end, TAI SUI tells a tragic fairy tale with no happy ending.
