Story Mode · The Rise of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei

From a micro-level perspective,
you will experience how Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei began their journey in Zhuo County.

With no reputation and no foundation, they face only the harsh reality—
a lack of money, blocked paths, and constant exploitation.
Those who follow you would not be heroes, but people with nowhere left to go.

How many will stand with you, whether you can confront the Yellow Turban forces,
and what ending awaits—
all depend on how you raise funds, who you persuade, and the choices you make.

The Enhanced Edition Is Available Now

The Enhanced Edition comprehensively improves the UI, guidance, and visual feedback while offering two experience modes and three difficulty levels. Whether you want to follow the story with clear guidance or investigate every clue yourself, you can experience the journey in the way that suits you.

Modern RPG Mode

Provides comprehensive guidance commonly found in modern RPGs, including quest tracking, location markers, and objective prompts. Follow clear directions to progress through the story and explore the world smoothly.

Recommended for players who prefer clear quest guidance.

Hardcore Mode

Removes quest descriptions, location markers, and other direct guidance, placing a greater emphasis on immersive exploration, character conversations, and deductive reasoning.

You will need to put yourself in the characters’ shoes, speak with NPCs, review your journal, search for clues, and decide for yourself where to go next—and whom to trust.

Recommended for players who enjoy classic RPG exploration or want the challenge of completing the game without guidance.

Why the World Is This Way

The game is set around 184 AD in and around Zhuo County.

Years of drought, the Yellow Turban uprising, bureaucratic corruption, and land consolidation
led the imperial court to decentralize military power—
marking the beginning of an age of chaos.

Built upon historical records and academic research,
The game reconstructs events, characters, and conflicts within an authentic historical context,
allowing players to feel the pressure and weight of the era firsthand.

Drawing inspiration from Records of the Three Kingdoms, Romance of the Three Kingdoms,
and the 1994 TV adaptation, the game carefully selects and expands upon established lore.

Without breaking historical frameworks,
It fills in the gaps left by history—
making each decision and each human struggle feel grounded and real.
