About This Game

A lifetime may pass in a moment. Some bonds take centuries to understand.

Begin as an unknown wanderer and shape a long cultivation life through training, travel, craft, combat, duty, and choice. Xiantu is a text-rich idle RPG designed for the desktop: your current pursuit, progress, resources, and journey journal remain readable at a glance while the world continues to move.

Choose how your years are spent

Practice twelve arts, seek breakthroughs across ten major realms, refine pills, forge equipment, inscribe talismans, raise spirit beasts, explore secret realms, serve a sect, or enter the imperial court. Queue an activity, let time pass, then return to new opportunities and consequences.

A world told through encounters

Travel through 55 illustrated locations and experience 461 encounters alongside a ten-chapter main story. Decisions can change allegiances, unlock techniques, alter later events, and lead to nine principal endings or 54 light-hearted odd endings.

A bond that grows quietly

Meet Su Qingyao, the reserved sword cultivator of the Jade Pool. Affinity is not another meter demanding constant attention: it appears where the relationship matters, through meetings, gifts, remembered choices, and shared trials.
