Our take on 天机录
Rather than using a standard RPG progression, the game makes dice-driven board movement and card acquisition central to each run. Its endings can also reshape later branches, combining a session-based structure with an unfolding visual-novel-style mystery.
What is 天机录?
This card-based RPG combines board-game movement with turn-based card battles.
Players choose a character and play individual sessions across different maps, rolling to move and gaining cards that shape each run’s direction and ending. Outcomes on each map can affect later routes and story branches, revealing additional truths and collectible entries. Random movement and card acquisition create different battle progressions from one session to the next. Difficulty options include an invincible mode, where characters cannot die and most objectives can be obtained, and a story mode with greater challenges, hidden branches, and additional endings. The game includes Chinese mythology elements, 8 female characters, and 10 CG scenes.
