Yao-Guai Hunter

About This Game

Inkbrush & Blade — A Journey Through Mystic China

When spirits roam and legends come alive, only a true cultivator can restore balance.

As a lone Yao Hunter, wield blade and spell to cleanse a world where ancient demons awaken and forgotten myths take shape.

Step into a hand-painted realm inspired by Chinese folklore — a living scroll of monsters, miracles, and martial arts.

Every choice writes a legend. Every battle bends fate.

Choose Your Path: Become a Legendary Yao Hunter

Mo San – A warrior from the Yao-Slaying Bureau, carrying a cursed blade thirsts blood.
He channels his rage into raw power — but with every cut, the blade hungers more.

How long before it devours him whole?

Chuan – A Taoist with a bamboo-fire sword and a pouch full of dangerous inventions.
He may look frail, but his bullets are blessed with talismanic magic.

His homemade weapons "Bamboo Bombard" — turn spiritual alchemy into explosive justice.

A-Zi – A prodigy witch from the southern Miao tribes, bonded with the poisons of the wild.
She commands a legion of venomous insects and conjures ancient hexes passed down through bloodlines. To fight her is to fight the jungle itself.

Ao Yu – A young dragon-descendant learning to command the storm.
With mastery over wind, fire, thunder, and rain, she dances on the edge of control.

But when her human form shatters... the dragon within awakens.
