About this gameFull description from Steam
Special Note: Toward the Northern Realm is a live-action interactive film-game set in an alternate history world, and does not involve any actual historical events. Official Discussion Group 1: 941491531 About the Game: Tianhe river runs across the land, spanning thousands of miles from north to south. To the south, indulgence and prosperity reign, the realm basking in peace under heaven. To the north, the fields are strewn with bones, the horizon ablaze with ceaseless war. There may be countless ways to launch the Northern Campaign, but one thing never changes: in this age of chaos, it is not only a slogan, but also a banner, the will of the people, and above all… a ladder to the heavens! Will you strategize with wisdom, carving a bloody path through the vortex of power? Or will you choose beauty and pleasure, indulging in a fleeting life of ease? Power and intrigue, loyalty and betrayal, where family, nation, and vengeance collide, you will write this grand imperial epic. Will you turn the tide and restore the realm? Or will you fall short and leave behind eternal regret? History will be written by your hand! It may take 800 men to conquer the world, but with you, even 500 will be enough! We Great Xuan has its very own “Xuanwu Gate Law of Succession.” Seize the throne and win beauty, or lose it all and be condemned as nothing. Every decision you make will shape your destiny: 8 epic chapters, over 600 minutes of gameplay, hundreds of branching paths, dozens of endings, and glittering titles that history will remember. What is the true regret of the Northern Campaign? The chill wind of Wuzhang Plains? The distant gaze at Zhuxianzhen? Or Xin Qiji’s mournful sigh? The Northern Campaign is more than history; it is the unfinished dream etched into a realm’s soul. This time, may you write a legend without regret: with sword and steed, thunder across the battlefield, and conquer the world like a tiger devouring the earth! About Muyan Studio We are an independent creative team dedicated to interactive film-and-game productions. Since 2019, our journey into the world of interactive storytelling has been full of challenges and hardships. Toward the Northern Realm is a project we have prepared and dreamed about for a long time. Here, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the players who supported Game of Fame. Without your encouragement, we would never have had the chance to create Toward the Northern Realm . Although this time, funding is still limited and time remains tight, we are deeply grateful to the many people who have helped us along the way. It is thanks to their support that today’s Toward the Northern Realm could come to life. We hope that this work, born out of passion and made with our utmost effort, will bring every player an unforgettable experience.
