About 井听说
A black-and-white story-and-choice game on TapTap in the tradition of Chinese 志怪 tales of the strange. You play a reporter who arrives in 听水镇 after a damp note reading "someone was in the well last night" and spend five days interviewing odd residents, gathering clues and choosing which of several reports to print. Rumours change what the townspeople believe and slowly give shape to the presence in the well, and the store text hints that what you write by day may become fact by night. Your reports and replies lead to three endings. In the creator note the developer says one person made the game from scratch in 21 days, organising nearly 200 art assets alone, and that as a coding novice they are very grateful to TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), TapTap's AI game-making tool. It is an entry in TapTap's 聚光灯 (Spotlight) 2026 21-day game-creation challenge. It is a free trial (试玩 DEMO) on Android, iOS and PC.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn the creator note on the TapTap page the developer writes that one person made a game from scratch in 21 days, going from not knowing how many art assets a game needs to organising nearly 200 alone, and that as a coding novice they are very grateful to TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker) ("代码小白 所以我非常感谢taptap制造！"). The note does not say what the AI did, how much of the code it wrote, or how the art assets were made.

Verification notes: AI use, team size and build time come from the developer's creator note on the TapTap page.
