Our take on Edge of Book
Its defining structure combines school management with time-sensitive storytelling: weather, time of day, character availability, and later events all interact with player decisions.
What is Edge of Book?
Set in historical Suzhou, this management game follows a young martial-arts enthusiast who opens a school while searching for a missing family member.
The school occupies a courtyard where daylight, night, rain, and other weather conditions change over time. Certain characters and events depend on specific times or weather. Recruit dozens of companions, each with distinct traits, personal stories, and preferred martial arts. Assign suitable companions and techniques to missions against different enemies, while events unfold along the way. A main storyline, side stories, hidden events, multiple endings, and time reversal give player choices lasting effects on later events.
