Where Winds Meet Unveils the Unsettling Reflection Temple
NetEase has added a new themed stage called Reflection Temple to Where Winds Meet, introduced via a live-action cinematic short that lays out rules for anyone taking on the role of night caretaker. The short leans into horror-adjacent tension, and while some players may draw comparisons to Five Nights at Freddy's-style rule-following, the official material does not confirm a formal crossover with that franchise.
The cinematic frames the stage around a set of taboos caretakers must follow through the night. They are told to wait for “the shadow” before entering the temple, since they cannot go in alone. Other rules include washing hands with eyes closed, watching a doll without looking away, and staying silent. The source also indicates that additional rules apply if earlier rules are broken, though it does not explain those additional rules.
Hidden Mountain Chapter 3 Closes Out the Storyline
Separately, NetEase confirmed that the final installment of the Hidden Mountain storyline launches September 16. Players will work to uncover the truth and reveal long-hidden secrets while facing Qianye, who is responsible for the destruction of their home at the beginning of the game.
