Close Together

Kowloon Walled City, 1991. The pipes keep breaking. You keep coming back.

You play Chen Weiming, an undocumented hydraulic engineer who can't leave the most crowded place on earth. A quiet florist named Meiqi keeps finding faults in her plumbing for you to fix.

This is a slow-burn romance with no shortcuts: affection accumulates in held glances, offered tea, and the things neither of you says.

Around you, water is rationed, triads watch the meters, neighbors trade favors and gossip, and Meiqi is hiding something. Expect cramped rooms, wet concrete, long silences, and a connection that only deepens if you cultivate it.
