The Infernal Return is a role-playing adventure game. Players will play the role as Koward, a guy who was abducted to the netherworld to sort out puzzles, collect items and eventually find his way back to life. Meanwhile, the game provides multiple branch quests and fun gameplay.

Koward is a timid guy who doesn't dare reveal his feeling to his girlfriend Mangostina. In order to complete the indicators given by the king of hell Yama, the two hell messengers Black Wuchang and White Wuchang (Wuchang means impermanence in Chinese language) abducted Koward with an excuse and brought him to the underworld. Koward's spirit was then imprisoned within Fengdu Ghost City. To escape and resurrect, Koward needs to collect enough elements and meet all the necessary conditions. As Koward, the player will explore the netherworld and vibe with some ghosts and monsters and cheat the death Yama with fantastic tricks.
