Short description

A Three Kingdoms life RPG. Live one person through the age of heroes, among characters who remember what you said and act on it.

Description

生逢三國 (Born Among Kingdoms) puts you in one life in the Three Kingdoms era: a wanderer, an officer, a merchant or a warlord, starting on the eve of Red Cliffs in 208. Instead of choosing from dialogue menus, you say what you want in your own words. The people you meet answer in character, remember the conversation, and act on it: a recluse may join your lord, a rival may drop a feud, a careless word at a banquet may start one.

Deterministic game code owns every rule, number and outcome, and a language model only writes the characters' lines and proposes changes, which the game checks against the world's facts and the date. That lets the story keep going long after it leaves the historical record, without characters forgetting who they are or knowing what has not happened yet.

Features

Free conversation with characters who remember. 911 historical figures; those active in 208 start where the records place them. A walkable ink-painted world map and atlas. Cities with taverns, markets, offices, barracks and ferries. Courtship, marriage, family and a home. Recruiting talent and serving on a lord's council. Ink-wash action combat with each hero's signature move, on foot or mounted.

History

Development began in June 2026 in Metro Vancouver. By October 2026 the game's repository held more than 8,000 commits and 11,000 automated tests, and a continuous playable session ran from character creation into a living 208 world. Characters recall what you tell them within a conversation; memory that carries from one meeting to the next is the current focus. A browser build of the battle prototype is playable on this site.

AI disclosure

Character dialogue is generated live by a language model, on the player's own computer or through a cloud provider the player chooses, within the game's content limits. Some art, including character portraits, was made with AI image tools under the studio's direction.
