The game is set to be published in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is inspired by the Yangzhou massacre in 1645, with elements from Journey to the West. The game's art direction features a mix of animalistic and fantasy features from Journey to the West with historical accuracy from the late Ming Dynasty period.
The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall is a visual novel that offers a bittersweet experience, where players will dive into the gruesome events of the city’s massacre and the story of a young scholar named Fang Zhiyou who loses his mind to overcome the circumstances. Amidst all the bloodshed, a love story between the scholar and a courtesan will spark.
Fang Zhiyou is a scholar with a tragic past who aspires 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.
2P Games, a Chinese company, will publish The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall. They have previously released successful indie games like Immortal Life, Dust to the End, Greedland, The Hungry Lamb, and Looper Tactics.
