Chirality is derived from the ancient Greek word χειρ, which originally meant “hand” — and then evolved into “chirality”, meaning that two objects, like the right and left hands, are similar in form but cannot match the mirror image. They are similar but different. Can you find the one mattering to you between two people who are similar in some sense?

The story of this game is centred on “hand”. From the perspective of protagonist Jingchu Li, the players will find the most special pair of hands for themselves. Jingchu Li is a Department of Fine Arts student who loves painting “hands” as his subject.

One day, he saw a pair of gorgeous hands in an advertisement which attracted him so much that he vowed to find this hand model. Unfortunately, at that time, there were a series of murder cases of hand-chopping that shocked the whole society. To avert suspicion, Jingchu Li has to stop looking for the hand model, but his life has still changed drastically because of it — He discovers that there is a strange neighbour near his residence, who is usually silent and seems to be watching him secretly; the student of the Department of Music he met during the performance is similar to the hand model he is looking for, but he hesitates to meet him for many reasons.

The quietness of the campus is broken when Liang, the campus belle who was a good friend of Jingchu Li’s, is found dead in the school building and becomes the victim of the case of hand-chopping-aholic. Jingchu Li immediately becomes the object of investigation by the police force. Terrifyingly, the murderer seems to see him as the next target...
