A CURIOUS TALE

Hotfoot Healer (风速疗愈师) is a high-speed, low-resolution arcade game about adventure and goodwill. It is a very short playthrough inspired by the many short, strange stories of Pu Songling (蒲松龄) and other Chinese authors. As the legend goes:

"A young monk was resting on a mountain when two ailing fox-spirits appeared before him, both sneezing to and fro. But before the monk could so much as say a word, a peculiar gale swept in, fierce enough to lift the foxes skyward and carry them toward the valley. At once, the monk prepared a magical elixir and filled his medicinal gourd. He set off down the mountain, following the winds..."
