You are the family dog. The owner of the house is away on a business trip, and you are in charge of taking care of the three children.

These kids are quite mischievous and often don't come home until late at night. Today, you notice that it's already past midnight and none of them has returned. Worried about their safety, you decide to go out and find each one of them to bring them back home to sleep.

All three are hiding in different corners of the neighborhood. You need to use your communication skills to find them in the correct order and bring each of them back.

You are a dog.

• One night, you wake up and find that all humankinds have disappeared from the world. Anxiously, you go outside to search but find not a single person. Your priority is to search the entire neighborhood for dog food and water to help you survive.

Worldview Setting: Behind a peaceful street lies secrets unknown to many. At night, ghosts possess the residents, leaving them listless and struggling with daily life. Only beings with exorcism powers can drive these spirits away through special means.

世界观设定：一片祥和的街道背后蕴藏着一些不为人知的秘密。每到夜晚，会有鬼魂附着在居民身上，造成这些人精神萎靡不振，难以正常生活。只有拥有驱魔能力的生物通过特殊办法能够赶跑这些鬼魂。

Character Setting: You are a Shiba Inu dog（aJapanese dog), born with the ability to see ghosts, and you have unique ways to drive away the spirits attached to people. Each evening, your owner takes you for a walk to meet the neighbors, and you use this opportunity to rid each person of their attached ghosts.

角色设定：你是一条柴犬，天生拥有看到妖精鬼怪的能力，并且你有特殊的办法驱赶这些附着在人身上的鬼怪。每天你的主人在晚上都会带你出去散步见一下邻里朋友，你会趁着这个时间驱走每个人身上的妖精。

Storyline: One evening, after dinner, you fall asleep and wake up to find it's already 7:50 PM. Your owner is sick in bed and can't take you out, but you know many shops on the street close at 8 PM. Now, you have just ten minutes to visit all your neighbors and help them with exorcism. You need to leave home quickly, check on all the neighbors, and drive away their ghosts in these ten minutes. Time is tight, so act fast!

故事情节：这一天晚上你吃完晚饭，趴着睡着了，一觉醒来发现已经晚上7点50分了。今天你的主人生病了躺在床上不能带你出门，而你知道街上很多的店面8点钟就关门了，现在你只有十分钟时间去见所有的邻居，帮助他们驱魔。你要在这十分钟完成出门，检查所有邻居情况，并帮所有邻居驱魔的任务。时间紧，抓紧行动吧！

Challenge:

1. Time Limit: The game is set with a ten-minute deadline. Players must plan the most efficient route as certain shops close early, and some people return home and lock their doors, becoming inaccessible.
2. Exorcism Difficulty: Some characters dislike dogs. Without your owner's presence, you may face challenges while performing exorcisms. Players need to learn to adapt and find creative solutions to these obstacles.

可玩性和挑战性： 1.时间限制，只有十分钟。制订好最合理的路线，比如有些店会提早关门，有些人会提早回家锁门就都见不到了。2.驱魔难度限制，有些人物讨厌狗，当你进行驱魔的时候，由于主人不在身边会遭到驱赶，要学会想办法灵活处理。

Interaction Method (Exorcism Method):

1. The main character, a Shiba Inu, exorcises by getting close to NPCs and "smelling" to check for any "residing" ghost.
2. If a ghost is detected, the player will see a ghostly figure hovering above the NPC. Then, "barking" at the NPC can drive the ghost away. This "bark" is triggered by pressing a key.
3. Without the "smell check," the "ghost detection" phase cannot be triggered, meaning directly "barking" at NPCs won't "exorcise the ghost."
4. Typically, two to three barks, or two to three presses of the "bark" key, are required for successful exorcism, depending on the strength of the ghost.
5. However, after the first bark, surrounding NPCs may react in two ways to the dog: 1. Accept/Agree or 2. Shoo away/Disagree, or even kick out of the room. In the second scenario, the player must wait for a cooldown period before approaching the NPC again.

互动方式(驱魔方式）：

1. 游戏当中提到的主角“一条柴犬”他的驱魔方式，先是通过靠近npc通过“闻”的方式检查人的身上是否有“寄宿”的幽灵。
2. 如果察觉有，玩家能够看到“幽灵”样貌的角色悬在这个npc上方，接下来，对着该npc"叫"就能驱赶“幽灵”。这里的“叫”也是通过一个按键触发。
3. 如果没有”嗅觉检查“这一步是无法触发”发现幽灵“这一步，也就是说直接对着npc”叫“是无法“驱逐幽灵”。
4. 一般成功”驱逐幽灵“需要叫两到三声，也就是按两到三次”叫“，根据”幽灵“的强大程度。
5. 但是在“喊”出第一声后，周边的”人物“可能会对狗有两种反应：1.接受/同意 2.赶走/不接受/甚至赶出当前所在的房间。遇到第二种情况，玩家只能等待冷却时间。
