Good to know
These are standalone stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle. City of Sadness, Puppetmaster and Good Men Good Women form a Taiwan history run but work separately. The Assassin is the latest released, with no next feature dated as of October 2026 after health news. Start with Boys from Fengkuei or City of Sadness.
