Premise
You play as Soul, a former warrior of The Order who is betrayed after being framed for a crime he did not commit. A former friend named Zuoshang stabs Soul and pierces his heart.
After being revived by a mysterious doctor, Soul has 66 days left to live. That deadline drives the whole story — Soul has to find out who framed him and why before time runs out.
The Key Players
Zuoshang
A former friend who stabs Soul and pierces his heart, setting the 66-day countdown in motion. He grew up and trained alongside Soul and Mu Xiaokui.
Mu Xiaokui
The female lead. She trained and grew up alongside Soul and Zuoshang, and now carries mixed feelings about the deadly conflict between the two.
Mo Yuan
Soul's father. A mysterious figure who previously left Soul and his companions, but returns during the events of the game. He trained Mu Xiaokui and Zuoshang as well.
The Forge
Serves under the mysterious Inanis as an instrument of the Order, and may assist Soul over the course of the story.
The World
The setting is called the Phantom World, with events centered on Pangzhen City. The world's heroes are the Wulin — martial artists living in a setting that mixes traditional wuxia fantasy with widespread cybernetics.
S-GAME describes the art direction as "Kungfupunk" — a blend of wuxia tropes with punk-influenced technology and industrial environments.
Sha-Chi in Combat
Sha-Chi is the game's stamina-like combat resource. Attacks and dodges consume it, while successful parries do not. For a full breakdown of how Sha-Chi works in gameplay, see the Combat System Guide.
