First Demo Out Now!

Beneath the Plum Tree is the first of a series of interactive fiction novels that is currently a Work In Progress. It is a work of historical fiction that is set in the final years of the Chinese Han Dynasty, as so famously described in one of China’s most illustrious stories: the Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三国演义.

The first demo, which consists of the first three chapters, is out now!
You can find it through the following link:

Premise

The Emperor is dead, and the Lands Under Heaven are torn asunder by corruption and turmoil. As the dynasty erodes from within and virtue is forgotten, the time has now come for you to carve your own way through the brittle late Han Dynasty.

Navigate the complex society of the Han Dynasty. Choose a craft and find your talent. Forge, learn, fight. Cultivate relationships with people from all walks of life.

Weather the impending storm, and rise all the stronger.

Beneath the Plum Tree 李下之歌 is an interactive novel of historical fiction, inspired by the famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It has:

◇ Complex characters

◇ An immersive, historically authentic setting

◇ Deep themes and symbolism

◇ Customisation based on the Five Elements

Please enjoy the first demo! And by all means, let me know what you think on my Tumblr page @beneaththeplumtree!

The setting is interesting enough that I’ll check back in when it updates, but I don’t have too much to say right now since there hasn’t been much our choices or stats do yet.

I’m not familiar with the three kingdoms setting and I don’t really understand what we will do in this story, but it was beautifully written! It’s really cool how your description creates such a cool atmosphere, especially with the description of the smell, which is rare

If Dong Zhuo appears in this I’m gonna gun straight for his tyrannical butt. He’ll be dead before Lu Bu gets to him.

I hope there’s a lot of stake and action happening because how chaotic the Three Kingdoms Period is that actions that you do will branches endlessly
