About This Game

Developer Message

“Nine Provinces” is a game developed entirely by me alone. If you encounter any bugs or have suggestions, please leave feedback in the community or comments. I will do my best to improve and fix them.

  • 600,000 words of story text, with all storylines drawn from Chinese folk tales and intangible cultural heritage

Game Features

The map is modeled on the real terrain of China, with every mountain and every river corresponding to its real-world counterpart.

The geographical location of every city is the same as it is in the real world.

All goods in every city are real local specialty products from that area. More than 170 different specialty products await you to buy and sell. Pay attention to local urgent and demand lists, sell specific goods, and you can earn high profits in a short time.

Different protagonists have different storylines. Each storyline features nearly 300,000 words of text.

All stories are drawn from local intangible cultural heritage and traditional Chinese folk tales, giving you insight into the local customs and culture across Nine Provinces.

Each main storyline has a different focus as well. Some are filled with soul-stirring chivalry and heroism, while others carry the tender poetry of the gentle rain in Jiangnan.

All characters have their own unique skills. Arrange them flexibly to make your journey across Nine Provinces smooth and successful.

Unlock negotiation cards, all of which are designed based on real-world business strategies.

Plan your cards wisely and build a powerful deck to stay undefeated in business negotiations, earning the maximum profit at the minimum cost.

There are many worlds out there that you have never seen before.

I hope that one day, if you have the chance to visit these cities in China's Jiuzhou in person, you will be able to tell your travel companions all about the local specialties and legends as if you know them by heart.

When they ask in surprise how you know this place so well, you will suddenly remember this game and smile.
