About this game

Origin: An accident, two worlds

 

You are an ordinary 996 worker. One day, after working overtime until the early morning, you found a mysterious package at your doorstep. Upon opening it, you discovered an old oil-paper wrapped jade seal fragment, broken into three sections, with a deep tint. As you picked up one of the fragments to examine it, your fingertip was cut by the sharp fracture.

A drop of blood falls into the crevice of jade.

It wasn't the light, nor the sunlight, but a kind of greenish-gold radiance spewing out from the interior of the jade. The three fragments automatically assembled themselves in front of you, and the cracks healed as if they were new. An irresistible force pulled you into the void - you heard the sound of wind, horses' hooves, the bustling noise of the market, and a very faint, distant sigh.

In an instant, everything fell back into silence. The jade seal lay quietly beside your hand, its entire body warm and smooth. The golden words shimmered like flowing water. An aged voice echoed in your mind:

With the return of our bloodline, I will be at your disposal

Not a coincidence, but fate???

 

"Qiankun Seal", an ancient artifact, has the power to tear apart time and space. It chose you for no apparent reason; perhaps it's just your turn, or maybe it's due to your unique background.

 

From then on, your life has gained an additional option: time travel.

 

Core gameplay: Butterfly effect with dual timelines

 

The core of the game lies in the "modern-Ming Dynasty" dual timeline shuttling mechanism. You can freely travel back and forth between the two eras.

 

The information collected in modern times will empower you to control the wind and rain in the Ming Dynasty

 

· The archaeological report guides you to the location of the treasure

· History reminds you to avoid a deadly trap or save the world.

Modern technology allows you to possess abilities and wealth that surpass the era in ancient times

 

Ming Dynasty World: Your Second Home

 

In the waning years of the Ming Dynasty, during the Wanli era, the surface was prosperous, but beneath lay turbulent undercurrents. Zhang Juzheng's reforms were imminent, Qi Jiguang's frontline against Japanese pirates was under strain, and the early signs of the Donglin Party struggle began to emerge. You must find your place in this era of rapid change.

 

Free choice of starting path:

 

richer than all others

Applying modern business models to the Ming Dynasty: opening chain stores, speculating on land, and trading futures. Using modern marketing techniques to attack in a dimensional reduction way - have you ever seen "buy one get one free"? Have you heard of "membership system"? Do you know what "hunger marketing" is?

 

When others were still using silver, you had already embarked on financial innovation. When other businesses were still waiting for customers to come knocking, you had already begun O2O (offline experience + online ordering - oh, if there was no online in the Ming Dynasty, then let's use pigeons to send orders).

 

be all-powerful and influence the whole court

Starting from a lowly position, you rise to become a prime minister. You need to handle government affairs, balance party disputes, and respond to impeachments. The old regime is very stubborn,

People's hearts are deeper - you may be schemed against by your colleagues, suspected by the emperor, and reviled by the people.

 

But if you make rational use of the power of the artifact, you can reform the tax system, rectify the bureaucracy, and implement new policies. Even... well, you know, it's not impossible to change the dynasty and turn things around.

 

 

· The young lady from a scholarly family may be hiding a shocking secret

The singing girls of the imperial music office may bear a deep and bitter grudge

· Street vendors may possess extraordinary martial arts skills

· The concubines and concubines in the imperial harem may be plotting a palace coup

 

You can fall in love sincerely, or you can just play games. You can be devoted to one person, or you can... Only children have to choose, adults want it all! Every decision you make will affect their fate, as well as your own outcome.

 

 

4. Change history

This is the most ambitious line. You might be able to change the course of history:

 

Prevent the Tucheng Incident in advance

· Assist Emperor Jianwen in his restoration

· Let the Japanese invaders disappear from the long river of history, out of our family revenge and national hatred!

· Advancing industrialization, ushering the Ming Dynasty into the steam era

... Or, let the Qing Dynasty never exist

 

But changing history comes at a cost. History has its own inertia, and forcibly changing it may lead to even more serious consequences. You may save one person, but endanger a hundred others. You may win a battle, but lose the entire world.

 

Modern World: Undercurrents Rising

 

Do you think the modern world is safe? No. When you start traveling through time and space, some "people" have already set their sights on you.

 

In the real world: With your artifact, you can achieve wealth beyond compare and indulge in extravagant pleasures every night in modern times. As you enter the upper echelons of society, some in your circle will be friends, while others will be enemies.

 

Artifact Battle: The Heaven and Earth Seal is not the only artifact; there are other fragments scattered everywhere. A mysterious organization is collecting these fragments, and their intentions are unknown. They may have already disguised themselves as people close to you, like the person you met, who... who is she?!.

 

Game feature system

 

Qiankun Seal System

Using the Qiankun Seal consumes energy, which needs to be replenished through various means: absorbing heaven and earth's spiritual energy, completing space-time tasks, or... absorbing fragments of other space-time artifacts for strengthening. The energy determines the number of times you can travel and how much you can carry during travel.

 

"Mingchen System"

Historical famous ministers are rare and hard to come by, and every important choice you make towards them will alter the outcome.

 

Faction reputation system

In the Ming Dynasty, you have the prestige of more than a dozen different factions: the civil official group, the eunuch group, the military general group, the royal family, merchants, common people, martial arts sects, religious forces... The attitude of each faction will affect the difficulty of your survival in the Ming Dynasty.

 

Appraisal Shop

Antiques from the past are coveted, but not everyone possesses a divine artifact. Some have discerning eyes and offer high prices, while others are blind and treat them as worthless. Appraisal shops prioritize profits, and how to purchase treasures at a reasonable price depends on your wisdom and luck.

 

 

Technical Highlights

 

· UE5 engine: realistic lighting effects, delicate character expressions, dynamic weather system

· Dual-era artistic style: Ming Dynasty employs warm colors and freehand ink style; modern times utilizes cool colors and realistic industrial style

· Dynamic NPCs: NPCs have their own life trajectories, memory systems, and emotional changes. The person you offended today may seek revenge on you three months later; the person you helped today may come to repay you three years later

· Multi-playthrough experience: Different choices lead to completely different plot twists and endings

In conclusion

 

"Qiankun Seal·Ming" is not a game that merely provides you with a thrill. It encourages you to think:

 

· If you were given the ability to change history, how would you use it?

What is the price of power?

· Which is more important: love, friendship, or family and country?

Can one person's choice really change the world?

 

What we aim to create is a game that immerses you in its world and prompts you to ponder over it repeatedly.

 

With the world in your hands, traverse through time and space. Your choices shape history.

 

"Qiankun Seal·Ming" - Coming Soon to Steam.
