Our take on 江湖余生：缘起

What is 江湖余生：缘起?
This story-focused wuxia RPG follows Ling Wuya, the sole survivor of a destroyed martial-arts household who awakens with no memory.
Survival centers on finding resources and making food or medicine rather than gaining levels by defeating enemies. Battles use turn-based card mechanics, combining basic attacks and defenses with randomly obtained martial-arts manuals. The game includes nearly 100 manuals, branching storylines, side quests, and multiple possible endings. Players can recruit more than ten companions, each with distinct traits, while exploring factions such as the Da Meng Manor, Tang Clan, and Hua Zhong. Activities also include listening to music, romance, cooking, and discovering opportunities in the surrounding wilderness.
