Feather of Praying is an RPG Maker Explorer Horror game.
Qui Xiaoqi, a lonely girl with no friends, wakes up one day in a dark room with no memory of how she got there. After a bit of navigation, she meets up with a strange white-haired boy, Bai Yu, who is also trapped in the labyrinth. He decides to help her escape, and together the two of them must find their way out while guided by mysterious signs. In the process, they will encounter all kinds of traps and monsters who want to keep them from leaving.
This game contains examples of:
- Big Bad: The Gray Fairyland itself is the entity that trapped Qui Xiaogi and Bai Yu in the strange labyrinth and controls the traps and monsters trying to kill them.
- Foreshadowing: The consumable save symbols are white feathers, like Wing/Bai Yu's.
- Guide Dang It!:
- Getting any end other than Normal End 1. While you are told your corruption level will determine your ending, what you aren't told is that you have to be playing on New Game Plus and go all the way back to the library when Xiaogi is separated from Baiyu to get any ending other than Normal End 1, despite the latter being counter-intuitive.
- Getting the True Ending in particular. While needing low corruption is obvious, not only do you need to meet the above requirement, you also need to avoid saving with any White Feathers (so you can only use candles), despite nothing hinting at this. Depending on whether you are inclined to use White Feathers at any point or think the plentiful candles are enough, either the True End or Normal End 2 will be the hardest to get without knowledge of the requirements.
- Save Point: The non-consumable way of saving is at candles which are scattered across the setting.
