A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

"I die for a family that never wanted a daughter, for a village that needed a scapegoat, and for a community that never cared about her."


"The River Bride" is a visual novel based on the events of the bridal sacrifices in Ancient China. Players play as Fu Suyu, the current year's bridal sacrifice. Experience how Fu Suyu deals with her fate through accepting her duty, fighting for her life, or even experiencing love for the last time.


Features:

  • 20,000 + words
  • 4+ endings
    • 2 CGs
  • Developed by 2 Chinese Descendants who are bad at being Chinese
  • Historical accuracy and inaccuracy 
    • Apparently, lesbians did not exist in Ancient Chinese text. So, we can not prove that this did not happen
      • But we also can't prove it did happen -- like everything in this visual novel
