Gossip: Is the World of Strinova Based on Shenzhen? Mapping Characters to Real-Life Locations

Recently, eagle-eyed fans discovered an intriguing detail in 'Strinova.' The game's 'Dormitory System,' which allows players to interact with characters, features a map that sparked a wave of investigation into the game's setting.

Through meticulous research and map comparison, players were shocked to find that the in-game world is based on real-world Shenzhen! They successfully 'doxxed' the characters' residences: Lavi near Meilin Mountain Park, Xinghui near the Shenzhen Children's Hospital, Michelle near the tech hub of Huaqiangbei, and Audrey in the high-end Donghai Garden Phase II.

The community was abuzz with these findings. Many joked that the developers, 'iDreamSky,' simply used their headquarters' location in Shenzhen as a convenient reference. Others pointed out that with property prices reaching 130k RMB per square meter in Donghai Garden, the characters are not just cute, but wealthy. More grounded observers simply concluded that the art team probably grabbed the map data of their office's surrounding area for efficiency.
