The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City’s Fall is the title of their upcoming visual novel that aims to be published in the fourth quarter of 2025. Following the grim line of The Hungry Lamb, this game is set on the Yangzhou massacre in 1645 and draws inspiration from the narration that Wang Xiuchu made of the events on A Record of Ten Days in Yangzhou and some elements from Journey to the West.
The sequel is set in the days of the Late Ming Dynasty and takes place some years after The Hungry Lamb. The main story and their protagonists are different, but we can expect Sui’s and Lang’s appearances.

The art direction from The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City’s Fall is a carefully made process. The characters’ design mixes animalistic and fantasy features from Journey to the West with historical accuracy and details from the late Ming Dynasty period.

ABOUT THE GAME

The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City’s Fall is a visual novel offering a bittersweet experience. Players will dive into the gruesome events of the city’s massacre and the story of a young scholar who loses his mind to overcome the circumstances. However, amidst all the bloodshed, a love story between the scholar and a courtesan will spark.

“Kingdom of Shituo is a book of fantasy and wonder.
Due to a bizarre condition, I see people as beasts. I wrote this book to cure myself of this condition. From the perspective of a common citizen of Kingdom of Shituo, I recount events from centuries ago.”

The player will take the role of Fang Zhiyou, a scholar with a tragic past who aspired to write books for life. After the sudden death of a close friend, Fang starts suffering from amnesia and a condition called “beast vision” which drowns him into madness and alcoholism. One day, after passing out due to alcohol, he starts experiencing reality as if he were the protagonist of the Kingdom of Shituo, the book based on Journey to The West he was writing.

When the Yangzhou massacre begins, Fang will find himself living in a fantasy world and incapable of discerning reality from delusions. In the Kingdom of Shituo, the king of the Golden-Winged Great Peng is leading a hundred thousand demons to slaughter the citizens. Between all the chaos and bloodbath, Fang will meet Xiao Yan’er, a courtesan he will swear to protect. As days pass, Fang will gradually recover his memory and, depending on the player’s choices, he will either become more lucid or worsen his maddening state of mind.

“This book is not for entertainment but a warning to the world. Reading it with a sense of compassion and understanding the evils of war is indeed commendable. If you take pleasure in it and do not understand its deep meaning, I lament. May everyone who reads this understand the value of peace and cherish times of tranquility.”

—The Scoffing Scholar of Guangling, Self-titled
