Trek across ancient China in a dark, boundary-pushing visual novel inspired by traditional Chinese art with modern animation. Escort four girls to the prosperous city of Luoyang in a branching narrative with themes of revenge, cannibalism, involuntary servitude, and more on a redemptive journey.
The protagonist, Liang, is a bandit who lives off robbing and killing with his partner in crime Shi Xing, nicknamed Tongue. One day, they receive a petition asking to transport four little girls to a certain rich man in the city of Luoyang who would like to take them in as adopted daughters or servants. Attracted by the large sum of money, they accept the offer, but sooner than later they will notice that things are not as they seem at first...
