Semantics of Disappearance is a web-based single-player interactive visual novel that combines role-playing and text-based exploration. The player awakens as the protagonist in a sealed room, with no memory of who they are or how they arrived. They have six minutes to explore the space, and what they discover, how they act, and what the room reveals are all co-written by the player and a fine-tuned large language model trained specifically for this project.

Each play-through unfolds differently. Even identical inputs can lead to unexpected narrative branches, shifting character behaviors, and entirely new scenes. When time runs out, the AI generates an ending based on the player’s unique path. The story develops beyond the creator’s prediction or control, revealing the work’s central theme: the fluidity, uncertainty, and infinite potential of narrative.

In Summer 2025, I interned as a Product Designer at Tencent MXD, the experience design department for Tencent Video, one of the largest streaming platforms in China. Over a 12-week internship, I focused on designing for Tencent Video and WeTV (its international version) TV apps.

I led the design of the Daily Film Picks feature in the Tencent Video TV App’s Movie Channel, which recommends one editorially curated film each day to boost engagement and support the platform’s shift toward premium content.
