Players play as a magistrate and detective in China’s Tang Dynasty. Help your residents start a new life, send constables to patrol the town, hear cases in courts, and investigate mysteries legal cases one after another.
From developer: As a fan of construction & management sim games, compared to busy gathering of resources all the time, I prefer to zoom in the camera and watch what my little men are doing. I find it’s a great way to relax. Sometimes I’m thinking, if there is story happening among these people, it will be much more interesting! Based on this idea, I design and develop this indie game. The game will not bring much resource anxiety to you, instead there will be stories happening among your little men. Moreover, as a magistrate as well as a detective, you need to solve legal cases for your people!
Please add the game in your wish list if you are interested. And please follow us in twitter and discord for latest info. Players’ advice and suggestions are always highly appreciated. Thanks again for your support!
