Taishiling

A game you can only play with a brush. You are the Grand Historian of a crumbling dynasty. Four brothers, one office, one brush. You cannot save anyone, kill anyone, or govern — you can only choose how each event is written into the official history. Every entry is read by the emperor, by the usurper, and by posterity. Honest words build your credibility and enrage the powerful; flattery pleases the throne and feeds its cruelty. Your life bar is your brothers. - 48 events, each modeled on real Chinese history (selling offices, calling a deer a horse, the literati purges...), with the actual historical source cited after every entry - Randomized event pools: every run is different - 3 dynasty outcomes x 4 historian verdicts decide how posterity judges you - Inspired by the Zuo Zhuan: three historians died, one after another, refusing to erase the word "regicide" No ads, no in-app purchases, fully offline, zero data collected.
