Zerocreation Games announced that its latest title The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall is now available on Steam. This dark historical visual novel tells the story of brutal beauty and tragic love. It's currently being offered on Steam at a 15% discount for a limited period.
The game comes from the same studio behind the million-selling visual novel The Hungry Lamb.
The game is set in 1645, which is around the final years of the Ming Dynasty. Players follow Fang Zhiyou, a broken scholar who has lost his memory and sanity after the suicide of his childhood sweetheart. One day he awakens to find himself trapped in the "Lion Camel Kingdom." This demonic nightmare is something that's born from his own writings and the real-life tragedy of the Yangzhou Massacre. In a city where he sees men as beasts, the suicidal scholar finds the will to live by protecting Xiao Yan'er, a little girl who shares the exact appearance and childhood name of his lost love.
Unique Mix
The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall invites players to experience a gripping story which features the visceral terror of a siege and combines it with the heartbreaking beauty of a scholar’s lost love, deeply rooted in historical research of the late Ming era.
Massive Narrative Scope
The game features an epic and novel-length script as it offers a rich and branching narrative that has dozens of ways to die and multiple main endings. It's able to create a profoundly immersive atmosphere with a star-studded Chinese voice cast and an evocative original soundtrack.
Then there's the extensive collection of illustrations that blend classic oil painting textures with a modern anime aesthetic. This allows the game to bring those diverse locations, unsettling atmospheres, and intricate characters to life.
Special Gift
In a statement, the studio shared that the game comes with a special bonus chapter for fans of The Hungry Lamb. It lets them revisit the fates of Liang and Sui following the "Together in Life" ending. However, the main game remains a standalone experience that can be fully enjoyed without playing Zero Creation Games' previous titles.
