#Insights 

The characters' design of this game is based on traditional Chinese mythology and fiction, which is entirely female in portraying the wretchedness and helplessness of female demons on earth.

In some traditional stories, Some female demons survive by seducing men, selling their sexuality and attaching value to them. This was the case in ancient times and much of modern communications media.

This game focuses on creating a complete female storyline, away from the sexualised female character design. The designer hopes to bring a unique and various gaming experience to the player.
