About the Game

An RPG Maker single-person independently developed fantasy adventure game that took thousands of hours to make. In terms of the plot, it is both a prequel and a sequel to the text adventure game "Routine Soul (Chinese Name: 套路之魂)" released in 2019.

"Being summoned to another world out of the blue, only to find the corpse of the summoner?! The continent eroded by filth, the legendary divine ring, the commission from the elves... People from all sides happen to gather at the notorious Lonely Mountain at this very moment. But what on earth is it for? When you finally fight your way bloodily to the top of the mountain relying on your own unknown power, is what's waiting for you really just the legendary evil dragon?"

  • The gameplay lasts for more than 10 hours, full of collectible elements, and there's plenty to enjoy.

  • Free choices. Will you follow your heart or restrain yourself by moral principles? This may determine the direction of the final ending! Multiple endings and multiple playthroughs are available.

  • The main storyline adopts fragmented narration. Many details (such as the descriptions of equipment and items) hide clues to the truth. There are also countless Easter eggs. If you're a game enthusiast, you're sure to find your own surprises.

  • The side quests are diverse in style. There are a small number of side quests with an extremely long span. In terms of the plot, there are ones that are hilariously off the rails, as well as sad and regretful ones, and even some that are dark, deep, and disturbing. There are quite a number of hidden quests, and if you're not careful enough, you're very likely to miss them.

  • Strategic turn-based battles. Wonderful combinations of skill effects can create different playstyles. Find the weaknesses of your enemies and beat them until they doubt their existence!

  • It's an innovative work under the framework of classic traditional RPGs, playing new and extraordinary routine with the trope of "the brave traveling through another world"!
