"Welcome to the Diamond City, and step into this rhapsodic drama of endless regression!"
The million-word plot × multi-ending simulation management game "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is officially scheduled for release on Steam on September 23, priced at 42 yuan, with a 10% launch discount (37.8 yuan after discount). In this closed and mysterious Diamond City, you will play as a talented alchemist managing your workshop, reclaiming underground land, commanding Renchai workers, navigating complex factions and adorable characters, and deciding the fate of the entire city through repeated regressions. (As for why you can ultimately decide the city's fate... the career development path of an alchemist is just that flexible!)
Six core characters and six transcendent factions drive vastly different multiple endings! Along your journey, you'll meet Cici, a tavern waitress with innate strength and a green thumb; Nana, a sharp-witted administrator who's also a formidable fighter; Gretel, the "human-shaped mystery trigger" with a pink-gold tail and exceptional marksmanship; and many other key characters with diverse alignments.
The relationships between characters are not just standalone affinity stories; they are closely tied to the secrets of the Diamond City, the conflicts among the six factions, and the truth behind the regression. Who you choose to trust, who you help, and who you decide to keep by your side in the end will push the story toward different conclusions.
While others farm on the surface, you reclaim land underground. Clear weeds and rocks, and you might casually dig up diamonds as startup capital. The plantation offers over a hundred crops with random traits, allowing you to mix and match effects like high yield, accelerated growth, and automatic watering. Just don't be surprised if you occasionally stumble upon absurd combinations like "high yield" but "zero output."
Tired of running the shop and farming? The "Renchai" (Human Sticks) that grow from the soil will work around the clock for you! Leave farming, alchemy, and shopkeeping to them, and truly free your hands. If your 007 employees are too exhausted and losing SAN points? Tuck them into the underground apartment for a nap, and they'll be fully revived instantly. If you catch any slacking off, just release them into society—yes, we offer a "release" feature. Focus on cultivating those who stay, and rising from Renchai to Lord of Cinder is just a matter of time.
Work hard to empty customers' wallets and stack powerful BUFFs by combining Oracles! Freely arrange counters and shelves. Once you make a name for yourself among the six factions, both human and non-human guests will come seeking your services, even quietly slipping high-value orders into the list. Through the "Tree of Creation," you can enhance your alchemy skills, listen to the whispers of ancient gods, and draw Oracles to combine game-changing effects.
When you have some spare time to change the mood, head to the Golden House for cards or go "fishing for ancient gods" in the pool! Engage in an exciting game of Twenty One Points at the Golden House, use save/load tricks to win cheat cards and become the gambling god of Diamond City; or find a body of water to cast your line. You'll never come back empty-handed—with various rare fish kings, you might even accidentally reel in an ancient god as your catch—yes, ancient gods count as seafood too.
With millions of words of text and over 40 NPCs with distinct appearances and alignments ready, we're set to open for business on September 23! Players who love beautiful girls and multi-ending simulation management games, add the game to your wishlist now. On September 23, Bone Nail Studio and 2P Games await you in the Diamond City!
