About 林海往事：赶山模拟器
A single-player, portrait-mode simulation on TapTap. In the last lunar month of 1977, 林满山 wakes up twenty years old again in a draughty mud-brick house, with a sick mother and a debt to the production team, but this time he remembers where valuable herbs grow, which years mountain goods will double in price and when snow will close the mountains. With 大黄, a puppy he rescues from the snow, he heads into five forest areas, each deeper than the last, through the four seasons: gathering mountain goods, following the dog's nose to dig wild ginseng, selling goods and building a house back in the village, running a ginseng garden, drying goods and steeping liquor in a workshop, and visiting a market once a season. The developer, the small indie team 简单极限游戏, says it set out to fix what players disliked in similar hunting and foraging games, for example skills that only level up by watching ads. The creator note says the game was developed with TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), TapTap's AI game-making tool, and that its art and music were made with AI assistance; snares and winter fishing are still being built. It is a free trial on Android and iOS, played inside the TapTap app.
