About This Game

In XuGU,the core gameplay is not typical combat but alchemy, a dialogue with oneself—alchemy is akin to refining one's heart.

Players have strong strategic control during the pill-making process. They can freely combine herbs based on their grades and elemental attributes to create unique pill recipes and refine elixirs with distinctive properties.

During the refinement process, players can intervene in various ways, such as using "symbols, talismans, spells, techniques, and rituals." Each choice the player makes will significantly affect the final pill's properties, allowing them to fully experience the satisfaction brought by "self-expression" and "self-fulfillment" in the alchemy process.

The game is set in a fictional cultivation world called "Wuruo."

The Wuruo world is one filled with spiritual energy, where everyone can cultivate. It is also a continuously developing cultivation world that is not only ancient but also modern.

Xugu is an anomaly in this world, existing outside the time and space of Wuruo, in an imaginary space. People from different eras can enter Xugu through certain mysterious powers. Likewise, through Xugu, one can enter any time point within this world.

Our game and story unfold in Xugu.

In the game's setting, Xugu is an alchemy sect founded by a cultivator from the near future. Xugu takes medicine as the path to the Dao, understanding the energy of heaven and earth through alchemy, which is called "the Dao of Alchemy."

"Those who cherish medicine have a benevolent heart, and the benevolent love others." In the game, players will use the pills they refine to help everyone who enters Xugu—people who may be wounded by life or troubled by illness.

Every soul in need of redemption will be healed in Xugu, in the hands of the players. Xugu is not a cold, might-makes-right world; we want to create a warm world.

Cultivation has never been about fighting and killing but about human relationships.
