• Vividly Unique Character and Story Experience

Some characters are troubled by self-knowledge and spiritual growth; some struggle with cultural prosperity and world peace.

Though no feast lasts forever (天下无不散之宴席), you will still meet them and come to know them.

• Progress The Plot

Details, scenes, conditions for advancing the story — in an unfamiliar world, confusion and loss of control are inevitable.

You must find the information that lifts the confusion on your own, and turn your breakthrough strategies into actions, exploration, and combat.

• You Don't Have to Obsess Over the Optimal Combat Rhythm

You can say tongue twisters in battle. Indeed, this skill produces no numerical or status effects. This is to enrich the game's content.

Once you learn the skill "Heal·Rectifying" you can fully restore all HP and MP. But becoming careless may still cost you the win.

In the maze of the second event, you'll face gangs of opponents — nodes you cannot easily bypass. But you don't have to clean them all away.

• Fusion of Cultural Elements

You will encounter a work of a singer from China's Hong Kong in the game.

You will also encounter a work of a poet from China's Tang Dynasty in the game.
