Storyline

Heritage - how do we define these sanctified places steeped in civilization? How are these architectural witnesses of time, now attractions for tourists, preserved or left to decay?

Common folk believe monuments are mere buildings, lifeless structures devoid of consciousness - how shortsighted this view proves to be. When architecture bears unique artistic elements and historical tales, when it absorbs the essence of co-living generations, it develops a spirit of its own. If mishandled, whether through demolition or improper preservation, these architectural spirits may transform into lingering specters, haunting the community and diminishing the quality of life in their vicinity.

On this path, you are a Geomancer - one who can commune with the specters of historic buildings, understand their regrets and grievances, and guide these specters to peace. The Ku Ling Compass serves as your tool, enhancing your ability to locate and sense these spectral presences.

Hong Kong, a city of constant transformation and dramatic changes - where numerous historical buildings stand testament to its remarkable development, while others have fallen victim to progress. May you use your Geomancer's gifts wisely to understand the complex challenges of heritage conservation.

古蹟,一個冠為神聖,充滿人文色彩的名字,是如何被定義?遊客今日眼中的歷史建築,是如何保育,又或者不被保育?

平常人以為,古蹟就是建築,一件死物不會有自我意識,屬實淺見。原來當建築具備獨特建築風格、歷史故事,再雜染一代代人與場景的生活氣息,終於凝聚出精魄。這時如果處理不周,單單拆掉或者保育不當,古蹟的精魄將淪為怨魄,留連不散,影響社區的生活質素。

這路途上,你是一位地靈師。地靈師能夠與古蹟精魄通感,了解它們的遺憾和不忿,度化怨魄古靈儀是地靈師定位怨魄的工具,能增強地靈師的感應力。   

香港,一個風雲際會,變幻無常的城市,不少古蹟見證著這裡的發展成就,也有的在發展的路上被清除。願你善用地靈師的能力,認識古蹟保育的種種難題。
