Enter an ancient China on the brink of chaos, where famine, rebellion, and mystery lurk beneath the glittering facade of the imperial court. The Hungry Lamb is more than a visual novel, it is a dark and brutal journey, where every choice carries weight, and every conversation holds a harsh truth waiting to be revealed.
A dark and conflicting plot
You will accompany Liang – an outlaw bandit – on a journey to find the truth and survive in a time of chaos. The story gradually reveals the terrifying secrets of the decline of an empire and the corruption that permeates every level of society.
Two-faced characters and their own goals
No one in the game is entirely good or bad. Liang’s companions all have dark pasts, and their motives often conflict with the journey you are taking. You will have to make trade-offs, doubt, and consider each relationship.
Your decisions change the world
Each choice not only affects the next dialogue, but can also lead to completely different outcomes. From the fate of the main character to the fate of an entire land, every action has unpredictable consequences.
Deep art style
The game recreates traditional Chinese art in a creative and vivid way, combined with modern animation to create an atmosphere that is both ancient and creepy. Each frame has its own narrative, like a living painting.
Turbulent historical setting
Set during the time of Chongzhen – the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the game faithfully recreates an ancient China that is gradually rotting from the inside. Every detail in the game clearly reflects the collapse of a dynasty, the hunger of the people and the thirst for power of the ruler.
The Hungry Lamb is not a game for those looking for comfort, but if you love dark stories, complex moral decisions, and a haunting art world, this is an experience you should try at least once.
