“这是一款图形探险类角色扮演游戏。在游戏中玩家可以任意选择自己喜好的角色来进行冒险，但是每一种选择都会面临不一样的结果，在这个精彩绝伦的幻想世界中，你会遇到之余赫斯皮里亚的各种奇闻轶事，未知的挑战、神圣的使命、崎岖的冒险旅程。。。瞻向未来的传奇篇章都由你来书写。比较遗憾的是游戏目前暂无汉化支持，其内含的一些“专八”式的专用特定词汇可能会使不少玩家望而却步，还请啃生肉吃力的瓜友慎入该游。”

About This Game

The Ballad Singer is an RPG/Graphic Adventure, set in a fantasy world completely controlled by the player's choices.

We've taken elements from game-books and visual novels to develop a videogame with an unprecedented format. TBS offers a fantasy story yet to be written, where the world changes and reacts to the player's actions. This will allow you to live up to 1700 stories and 40 different endings, your decisions will affect the way the tale unfolds. Every single development and subplot in the story is completely narrated and illustrated, even the smallest ones. In TBS, every choice is crucial.

Features:



  • Four heroes with different narrative developments
  • Asymmetric stories intertwining one to the other
  • During a single run with a character you will never face two fights alike
  • Your choices really matter, you can completely change the fate of the heroes through your decisions
  • Three degrees of challenge: deceive death and repeat mortal choices through powerful artefacts
  • Replayability: only by replaying TBS you will be able to discover the different decisional paths of each hero
  • Domino System: a choice in the first minutes of play could have strong repercussions throughout the course of the adventure
  • Fully narrated story, over 400,000 words and 40 hours of narration
  • More than 700 HD illustrations
  • Over 40 musical tracks
  • 400 different detailed deaths
  • Dying is part of the story, so there is no "Game Over". When a character you're playing as dies, you will play as a new hero, within the same story, in a different narrative path
