# PANGYA Mobile: reconstructing the shutdown game service

> PANGYA Mobile reconstructs a self-hosted service for game version 1.0.21 and patches the user's APK to connect to it. Its TypeScript server handles login, lobby, story, shops and other game functions, using game data from the APK and asset bundles; a protobuf schema describes network messages.
