ABOUT THE GAME

Set in 1645 during the final years of the Ming Dynasty, players follow Fang Zhiyou, a broken scholar who has lost his mind to grief. He awakens to find himself trapped in the “Lion Camel Kingdom”—a demonic nightmare born from his own macabre writings and the real-life tragedy of the Yangzhou Massacre. In a city where men appear as beasts, he must protect a mysterious young girl who carries the ghostly echo of his lost love.
