About This Demo

The jianghu never forgets anyone.

Return to the Jianghu is a wuxia life-simulation card game. You enter the jianghu with a random birth — a noble's son, a village boy, a merchant's child, a beggar's orphan. Learn from a master, roam, settle debts, find someone, and live out this life.

▎A life, one choice at a time

Every run is a life. Learn as a youth, roam in your prime, bow out in old age. Save a stranger or walk away, take a master or stand alone, live small or stake everything — every choice writes your fate.

▎Turn-based card combat

**Two schools are playable in the demo**: the Sword Sect's Momentum — attacks build up, then spend it all on one strike — and the Tang Clan's Poison — stack it and it burns from within. Or play a Rogue, mixing everything. Techniques beat techniques, chain your moves, and a full martial art triggers when the pattern is complete.

▎Tower Climb (playable in the demo)

A tower with no top: climb from the first floor, choose your path at every node, and your deck grows stronger as you go. Pick from **Sword Sect / Tang Clan / Rogue** and five difficulties (Easy / Normal / Hard / Hell / Endless) — the Endless tier never ends, so how high can you climb?

▎The jianghu keeps a record

When you die you reincarnate, and the Chronicle writes down your name, how you died, and what you did in that life. The jianghu never forgets anyone; you simply start again.

▎An event-driven jianghu

Bandits on the road, hidden places, teahouse rumours, a chance encounter… every run is a different jianghu, and each choice opens a different road.

▎Bonds

Even in the martial world there is room for affection. A swordswoman in red, a swordsman in white — each with their own temper, and either may win your heart. Choose one, and the long road has company.

▎This is the demo

This store page is for the **demo: two playable schools (Sword Sect / Tang Clan) and one full life**; in the Tower Climb you can play any of the three styles (Sword Sect / Tang Clan / Rogue).

**Demo saves are not wiped** — the jianghu you walk here carries on in the full version.

Wudang, Shaolin and Blood Fiend martial arts, debts and inheritance across lifetimes, bloodlines and heirs, the three powers of righteous sects, demon cults and the imperial court, and the regions of Shaolin, Wudang, Jiangnan, the Miao frontier, Mobei and Nanjiang arrive with the full version.

· A hand-drawn 2D animated wuxia art style

· Random birth + talent dice — your fate is yours

· A Chronicle that records every life, readable at any time

· Four languages: Simplified Chinese / English / Japanese / Russian

One life ends; the Chronicle remembers you. Then, another life.

There is much more in the jianghu — go and walk it yourself.
