About the Game

During the time that the demo was released, I received a lot of complaints about the poor art style, and I have been struggling with this problem. But I wanted to give you a better experience and a more satisfying answer for myself. I finally decided to change to the art style that was more suitable for the story, which meant that almost all of the art assets we had used in the past had to be abandoned and redrawn, which was a challenge for the project in terms of money and time.
But please rest assured, the remake is currently underway, and the pictures displayed on the store page are in the style of the old version, and after the first part is completed, I will update it to the store page in time to share with you! Stay tuned!
-----------------------------------------------------

The story setting:

In April 1943, the Japanese Eleventh Army gathered a large number of troops, intending to eliminate the main forces of the defenders of the 6th Theater of China, open up the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and seize the ship materials of the Chinese army. Around the war situation in the 6th Theater, the forces of all sides strategize, fight openly and secretly, and launch a fierce and bloody competition.

Unexpectedly, Nanjing, this faraway city becomes the key to victory in this battle. And our story begins here...
Identity crisis, Mystery Visitor, Loyalty and betrayal, abandonment or abandonment...

Play as a group of underground workers fighting in the dark and make some important decisions. These choices may affect not only yourself, but also the lives of others.

BUT please remember that the victory always needs price.

Bright spots:

In this game, players will complete the entire story through different chapters and different characters' perspectives. Even if a character dies or is imprisoned due to your choices, the game will not end. The world does not stop by anybody, even the protagonist of this story. There will be others who will continue to fight for the same goal.

Main elements of the game:

Plot direction, spy war, explore, forties of the last century, great heroine, love elements but low proportion, pixel style...

Solemnly declare:

This story is purely fictional, a story created in a historical context, not a complete historical fact.

At present, the production progress is 10%, the story is born out of a novel written a few years ago, as a game script, the main plot has been completed, the branch plot needs to be improved, and now it is mainly after the art materials are in place, the progress will be accelerated.
