About the Game

Legend tells that Hanba (Drought Fury) was originally the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. After helping him defeat Chiyou in the Battle of Zhuolu, she exhausted her divine powers and became stranded in the mortal realm, causing droughts wherever she traveled. Ultimately exiled to the northern wastelands, she became a reviled symbol of calamity.

The game blends electronic soundscapes with classical Chinese motifs, prioritizing traditional instruments like guzheng and Chinese drum. Each track corresponds to a different chapter of Hanba's tragic journey, reflecting her inner turmoil through regional musical styles woven into the narrative. This fusion creates an innovative music-driven gameplay experience.
