The game design concept is based on the traditional funeral culture of Taiwan as the main theme, and focuses on the stage of " reciting " in the process of Taiwanese funeral and Buddhist culture. In order to satisfy the bereaved to achieve the emotional connection with the deceased and the effect of inner healing through interaction with this creation, the creator has transformed her own experience of reciting into the inspiration for the creation, and attempted to use knocking on percussion devices as the core gameplay, and included the two reciting times, " before death " and "eight hours after passing away", into the game's two-stage levels respectively. This creation adopts a semi-structured interview method and focuses on one expert and four general public who have experienced bereavement as the test subjects of the game. The results of the interviews found that: First, by presenting the reciting in the form of a digital game and combining it with the gameplay of knocking on percussion devices, the players can deepen the experience of the simulation of the reciting process and draw a closer relationship with the solemn topics and the Buddhist instruments. Second, the game's interface, music, interactive gameplay, and teaching tips are all appropriately integrated to allow players to naturally immerse themselves in the game experience, and players feel very profound and healing about the second level of the " Chanting the Buddha ". Third, this creation has the effect of healing the grief and sadness, which can bring more relate and comfort to those who have recently faced the pain of bereavement and have deep feelings with the deceased.
