As Chancellor of Shu, you face a relentless stream of events, each demanding a simple choice: Yes or No. Four gauges — Wei, Might, Hearts, and Wealth — shift with every decision. If any gauge hits its limit, the kingdom is lost. FEATURES - Swipe-style card strategy Events arrive as cards, each answered with Yes or No. Simple controls, weighty consequences. - Four gauges, impossible balance Diplomacy with Wei, military strength, public trust, national wealth. Protect one, and another slips away. - Six loyal retainers and a third option Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Luo Xian, Fu Qian, Zhuge Zhan, Huo Yi. Level up these loyal retainers to unlock a third choice in desperate situations. - Retro pixel art The twilight of Shu Han rendered in retro-style graphics. - Roguelike replayability Card order changes each run.
